Yes, it is mostly about aesthetics. TBH, I have never really understood the point of the carbon roof, as the M models are road cars. They have all the gadgets, comfy leather interiors, all the safety systems, and on and on.
These cars aren't really track tools until you hit CS or CSL level, and even then, we are still talking about a car that spends most of its time on the public roadways and still contains most of what you'd want for the commute.
I love them for what they are, but no production road-going BMW really needs carbon anything.
