Dang it! It's heavier then my e92 M3...and it has a Carbon Roof!?
I love naturally aspirated V8's but dang, 2 tons worth? Not sure I do.

The CF roof is a borderline marketing gimmick that really only matters to hardcore enthusiasts. With the E92 M3, the CF weight savings are 11 lbs or 37 lbs compared to a steel roof or sunroof, respectively. It technically shifts the center of gravity downward which aids load transfer, but I bet the actual effect is imperceptible to most. It really just looks cool and gives an owner or manufacturer something to talk about.
