New to M3...what happened to the roof?

skimo · 06-09-2010, 01:30 PM

Hi,

I am currently driving a loaded 335i with a lease ending in...last month

As I pretty much don't want to jump into another 335i, I am considering the dream and getting into an M3. However, I remember a year ago there was an option for CF roof without sunroof or regular roof with sunroof. However, the bmwusa site does not show that option.

What am I missing?

thanks

If you're looking at a sedan or convertible, CF roof is not offered. Only on coupes.

CF is standard on the coupe, with a sunroof option. You weren't looking at the sedan were you? Not an option there.

I am trying to get the sunroof on a coupe! sorry I forgot to mention that...

I really enjoy having a sunroof..

MonteCarloM3 · 06-09-2010, 05:28 PM

no problem then, just can't have CF with that. simple.

CF roof is only with NO sunroof. If you get the sunroof, it's a normal metal roof.

if ur getting a coupe get the carbon roof its so choice

JohnnyRoaster · 06-09-2010, 06:50 PM

The moonroof is a no cost option. It is the second choice under the Convenience Options on the BMW web site.

I would go for the CF if I was buying a coupe. I didn't get a sunroof in my sedan because of the headroom.

blueman2 · 06-09-2010, 08:34 PM

Go CF!!! I do not miss the sunroof at all, and all my cars in the past had it.

SebringS2k · 06-09-2010, 09:45 PM

335i owner here, I never use my moonroof...CF all the way!

kaykay · 06-09-2010, 09:56 PM

I've always had a sunroof and went with the CF roof on my E92 after sitting in a few and realizing that's it not that bad without it, CF roof looks stunning and the headroom is a tiny bit more.

CF roof for a coupe 100%

littleyellowm3 · 06-10-2010, 02:39 PM

There are several companies that make CF roofs that will fit with sunroofs if I remember correctly.

IbanezGod · 06-10-2010, 02:56 PM

... easy choice since I got a sedan lol

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
