How much extra headroom does the carbon roof add?
Hey everyone, first time poster.
Test drove the new M2 over the weekend. It had the standard roof (with the sunroof). I like to position my seat fairly high, so I'm looking out the upper portion of the windshield, and I'm also a bit on the taller side at 6'1". I found I had to sit a bit lower than I would like so my hair wasn't rubbing on the headliner. Now, it seems to be pretty commonly said that the carbon roof option (which deletes the sunroof) adds headroom. Before I option that on my build, does anyone know exactly how much headroom is gained above the front seats? Trying to decide if that $2,600 is worth it Thanks in advance. |

I just got my car with the CF and in a sunroof car, at 6'5" (34 inch inseam), my head could touch the ceiling barely. But in the CF roof car I am clear! No touching at all. It's significant, so if you have any concern, go CF roof!

I’m 6’3” and optioned the carbon roof. However I did also option the carbon buckets as I like to sit low in my cars. Don’t have the car yet but sat in one with both and had plenty of head clearance

Regular seats, or carbon buckets? I looked but could not find that info in your other posts. Thx!

This does seem to be a difficult specification to find and is very important to some. Maybe a standard location can be determined and folks can just take measurements and compare.
Give me a setup (seat position, etc.) and a couple of measurement points and I'll run out to the garage with a tape measure. I have standard seats and a CF roof. I'll add that I have a manual transmission, because for some odd reason that seems to make a difference on everything! |

Bottom it out, forward most position, etc. I'm just really interested to see if there's a difference between CF roof and sunroof for the rear seats, given the angle and partial-retract nature of the sunroof
