CF Trunk replacement for E93 Convertibles

Captain Slow · 09-08-2010, 11:09 AM

Folks,

This message is to generate a list for Challenge to recognize a demand in the marketplace for a trunk option for the E93. IND has asked for a list of 10 or more folks who would be interested in a group buy for an E93 application of the Challenge race/sport trunk.

For pics of the E90/E92 Challenge trunks follow the link:

List starts here:

1. Captain Slow

Let's make this happen!!!

I like the Duke Dynamics one better though am hesitant based on zero real world reviews and poor fitment rumors (or maybe an Ericsson style one). How much would this be with a group buy?

How much weight is being saved with this one vs stock?

Not sure yet what the E93 M3 trunk weighs but here are the specs for the Challenge E92 M3 trunk vs. OEM.

Specs:
Factory trunk weight: 29.5 lbs
Challenge - GT Carbon Race Trunk: 8.8 lbs
OVER 21lbs weight savings!

Also we would only now need a total of 5 E93 M3 owners to get this going. So 4 more to go

money talks how much for group buy.

mazda3ndp · 09-09-2010, 11:16 AM

im interested but cant show interest because I dont know the price even an estimated price would be good.

Pricing will be the same as the coupe carbon kevlar trunk which is around $2300.00.

I would be more interested and would put my name on there if the edge on the trunk was a bit less aggressive...will it be the same or will it have a different design in a way... ? Let me know

If we get 4 more E93 M3 owners on board we can post a few concepts for you guys to vote on.

I would be interested more in an Ericsson style trunk as the CSL is a bit over played. But for $2300 I hope the fit would be perfect. Also guys please remember that the E93 has a break light in the trunk.

I'm also wanting Challenge to stay away from the CSL style look on the E93 M3. With the $2300 price tag the trunk will weigh around 8.8-9.1lbs and come in full carbon kevlar.

Wow -that looks impressive. Why do none of the pics ever show the shark fin? I'd assume you get zero radio reception without it?

I'll see if i can get some rendering together in the next weeks time of what a convert trunk may looks like. Thanks for the support guys

Great...

thanks for the effort.

Doctor J · 09-13-2010, 04:29 PM

i think its a bad idea -- just asking for problems on an E93

if you have ANY problems with the roof mechanism in the future..... bring your wallet

Sound like a lot of problems, but it's NOT true; a trunk is a trunk. All the mechanism are hidden inside the box and the box are screw onto the trunk. They are two separate parts.

If you open your trunk and removed the carpet cover then you will know what i meant.

Yep I just had an E93 at the shop yesterday. Trunk looks less complicated to make than the Coupe trunk.

Any news from the trunk?

You don't buy a vert if you're worried about the weight IMHO.
