Of course, I get that M cars are typically seen with CF roofs, and the concerns about helmet space.

They should just start over with this one. Unless the goal is to kill the M2 at all costs by making it horrendous and claim "sales have lowered too significantly to continue production."

So... to translate... you cannot have a standard roof w no sunroof and instead must upgrade to the costly cf roof? Other M cars offer moonroof deletes.
Well BMW knows how to make $ for sure... i would have opted against both and just went for a standard roof.

The sunroof in the G87 is 20% larger than the one that was offered in the F87. “Larger” generally means more weight. |

Oh, sure. But I'm speculating it's still smaller than the M3's sunroof.

ugh!
I was going to go with CF anyway, but forcing a sunroof is dumb.

Agreed...dammit! That CF roof is $2300!!!!!
M cars have slick roofs, man! Don't have to be CF, but no sunroof. To "be more spacious"??? Really??? By an X5! Hell, this car already has a weight problem, adding that heavier roof only makes a real bad problem worse. So not cool. |

I reserve the right to be mad and then be apologetic if they magically offer a free moonroof delete option. It's as if they don't know the customer base. Or, do most customers really want the moon roof?

The additional weight is minimal. The movement of the center of gravity lower by reducing weight up top is more significant than losing a few pounds. That said - it's still not much of a difference. Is any track rat really going to enjoy their track sessions less because they have a steel roof? Are their times going to suffer measurably? Probably not. Less headroom is also factor in some not wanting a sunroof. If you're tall and wear a helmet, losing ANY headroom can be a real problem. Also a lot of people don't like sunroofs because they can be problematic. A lot of people enjoy an open roof and couldn't care less of some barely measurable "loss of performance" that may exist because of its presence. Bottom line - it's great to have choice. If BMW is for some reason really sticking everyone not opting for the expensive CF roof with a sunroof, that's a really odd decision.

I’m torn, as I actually want a moon roof and excited that they are offering this for free. However, I prefer how the car looks with a carbon fiber roof. Perhaps I will get the moonroof and then cover it with gloss black wrap…
They really need to release more pictures of the car with various options. |

If people who opt for a CF roof have to spend more money on it that kinda stinks, but if it's a $0 cost option then what's the difference..... Or has it already been announced that a CF roof will cost extra? Personally I'm a sunroof guy so it's not "bad news" to me at all. But I do like the way a CF roof looks!

Well, I use my sunroof every day more than any other feature so if I don't get the carbon roof, this would be the nice standard one for me.

I can't think of a single item that it's lacking. Even frivolous fluff like a dedicated in-vehicle 5G connection w/ hotpot and colored heads-up display made the cut.. Good stuff 👍🏻 |

It's missing exterior and interior color choices when compared to virtually every car in BMWs lineup.

Sunroof standard. That's not even a real M car.
M life FTW.
