- I dislike the sunroof, intend to keep the M2 for a long time and sunroofs beak and leak down the road, even if you don’t use it. Ask me how I know…
- no option for sunroof delete in the US.
- it looks amazing and I feel like a drive a special car.

At the end of the day, the actual mathematical calculations don’t matter, it is all about the experience. Combined with the M Performance suspension and interior upgrades like CF trim, alcantara center arm rest, performance shift knob, I have a grin on my face every time I get inside and drive.
Oh, I agree and am planning to order the CF roof. I just don't have any illusions about the real-world performance benefit.

I would be surprised if there is a big ndifference by the time you get near the rear glass because the sunroof on these cars is short and gets tucked into the more horizontal portion of the roof, but you might be right.
