Moonroof or Carbon Fiber

[M3Mikey]

Hey guys I need advice,

I am ordering a Jet Black M3 with Red extended interior, should I go with the moon roof or carbon fiber roof? Give me some reasons if you can, its the only decision I'm stuck on......
:readthethread:

also i have the Hamann body kit but i dont know if ill put it on.

If you gonna get on Jet black then go for the moonroof. Black on black carbon doesn't show the carbon fiber roof it'll be the same as with the moonroof. Now if you were to get it on AW exterior the carbon fiber roof is the best match.

CF, less weight. Don't really need a moonroof on a sports car. It may not stand out on a black car, but I think that's kind of appealing in itself. If you get the moonroof, I think if you saw an M with a CF roof you'll say "I wish I had gotten the CF". But if you get the CF, I don't think you'll say "I wish I had gotten the moonroof".

Got myJet Black with the CF Roof. Doesn't stand out like AW or other lighter colors but it still has a very cool look when you approach the car.

Plus its lighter - different from most cars -

Moon roof is nice but you're buying an M3! If there's a reason they decided to lower the weight/center of gravity dont counter it by getting a moonroof! IMHO of course.

CR dog it looks all so sexy

[Shade]

CF imo. It looks amazing.

CF or go e90 w/ moonroof...

GL

No point in getting the coupe if your gonna get the moonroof. Get the cf roof.

[JuniorDee]

i got carbon fiber on a jet black finish. I love it

[MTrizzy]

Got AW with a moonroof and never been happier...seems by the responses you are getting that CF might be helping you fit in and not stand out ! ha.

[yahtzee]

too ricey for me....just my opinion.

[par4bmw]

If you like it, go for it. Without a doubt it makes the car stand out from other cars as a unique feature.

My opinion though is that it does not make near the difference on a dark color. For lighter colors, such as AW, the car just does not pop like it does with the CF roof. To me, the lines of the car show much better with the contrast of the CF and it creates a completely different look from the 3 series and other cars. For the darker colors, the lines look the same with either roof but you get the nice look up close so it is not as much of a must for me on black.

My dealer's first two Ms were an AW w/moonroof and a JB w/CF. Everyone there agreed that they should have been equipped vice versa. Then seeing an AW / CF, :drool:.

cf is great, altho the other day when it was 110 degrees i was kinda regretting that

[SROC3]

I like the sun....would definitely get the moonroof. Ahhhhhh.....the joys of PCH and an open moonroof :)

[BMW-M-Mexico]

CF, everyone has a sunroof, few have CF!!

[Blip Bavarian]

cf.

[///Metak]

This should have been a poll. CF 4sure tho! Had to order my '05 w/o sunroof cuz I did not want moonroof.

[BMW3R]

Nothing better than cracking open the moon roof on the way to work with my cup of coffee. I could care less about center of gravity since I will never race the car on the track. Plus I really doubt that the added weight would ever be noticed by an amateur driver.

Moon roof +1

CF all the Fuckin Way!

i know the feeling...you don't want to sell out from M and get the moonroof, but you know how nice it will be to get that extra sun and wind blowing through the car. people have already said this, but exterior color makes a difference. if you are going jb or jzb, i'd say go moonroof if you are undecided. but for lighter colors, CF is the way.

Honestly bro...stupid question! lol! CF all the way! People literally trip out when they see my roof! (in a good way) ...girls and guys. CF!

[SIM SIMMA!]

CF FTW. I have a moonroof right now and I RARELY use it.

[montreal red]

i use my moonroof pretty often now .... but if i got an m3, i'd go for the CF roof... after all, no other mass produced car comes with a CF roof from the factory... the only other mass produced car with a cf rood is the M6 .... so you wont be seeing a lot of cars on the street with a CF roof. it's going to be something special.

[White08M3]

def go CF. i have an alpine white with CF and love it. i was contimplating between the 2 as well. im very very happy i went with the CF it reallly looks great on AW..a friend of mine does have a jet black with the CF as well and it looks just as good...go cf! :thumsup:

[Greenspotpop]

Moonroof! lol, but then again I got the Sedan and I wanted a more conservative look, getting old lol

[Ryan(e92)]

Dont spend the extra money on the coupe if you're gonna get a moonroof. I cant say CF loud enough.

[Ryan(e92)]

What does a coupe and a sunroof have to do with each other?

the sedan does not have the option of getting a cf roof. Only the coupe offers it. My opinion is that it is pointless to get the coupe if you want to get a sunroof. This is only my opinion. Like everyone else said cf roofs are rare and imo extremely badass

I think they are independent decisions. Get a coupe or sedan based on whether you need 4 doors or 2 and look preference. If you like the coupe, get a cf or moonroof based on which one you want. I would get a moonroof with black since the roof does not stand out and I love having an open roof here in sunny AZ. Since I am going SSII - cf roof is going to be killer!

[sayemthree]

CF if you favor performance
MR for luxery

[Davinhci]

CF Roof!

[BlackJetE90]

Are you really asking this question?

Or are you joking?

[MagicMtnDan]

It's clearly a matter of opinion.

The CF thing is mostly about appearance since virtually no one will notice the weight or COG (even if you drove with and without back-to-back).

Once everyone has CF it will be cool to have painted steel. Other car owners are painting their roofs black to give it the look.

Personally, I'd much rather have the moonroof to enjoy the sun and air but I'm in SoCal where that's possible most of the year.

[Shade]

CF def.
When i got my car i was shocked with the look of the CF roof. however, sometimes i tried to open the moonroof... BUT its not there lol !

anyway CF roof for me No regrets

[J08M3]

apparently BMW couldn't figure out which looks better so they offer it both ways... Personally I'm glad I got the CF roof. But both are cool, moonroof keeps car a little quieter looking/more conservative. CF is a little louder and aggressive looking... just my opinion though

[Steveo58]

CF or you're gay... ha ha jk... seriously tho, CF on black looks very classy. I had that on my e46 and it was a big hit...

[M3Mikey]

Thread closed: I went with the carbon fiber. Thanks for the input, I am happy I went with the carbon fiber.

[Greenspotpop]

Moonroof so you can hear the V8!

[kuben]

Sorry for going off the topic guys but does anyone know what the front fenders are made of on the e92.. Feels like plastic..

[J08M3]

plastic

[WCH]

CF - Even with a black interior I don't miss the sunroof and it really sets the car apart.

That's what windows are for...
