See the screenshot below I was already aware of this and truthfully I did not want to be the one to officially announce the bad news. I sort of still am, but it is via another source.

This is some BS. Just make the carbon roof standard like in the Uk. Hell it’s made in Mexico so we all know you are saving money!!!

Given that they are automotive press and relatively tight with corporate one would have to suspect from the ultimate source, BMW NA.

I am not at liberty to disclose what I know internally.

Can you customize the order? Back when I customized my E90, there was a one-time fee of roughly 400 CAD. Once that was there. I could make as many changes with applicable fees as I wanted.

I selected a non-standard color, real wood piano black interior trim and adaptive headlight swapped to non-adaptive (I switched to Euro headlight to not have the orange in the light assembly.

I know choosing Individual colors are not possible at launch, but other changes might be feasible.

That's messed up. Now you are forced to pay up for a slick-top.

Dumb question: why is this "bad news?" Do most people prefer a steel roof (if not springing for CF)?

Well at least it increased in size

I have one on my M2… I was one of the people who bitched to BMW for not having it as an option from the very beginning.

They have got to build one and there is no guarantee that will happen. CS or CSL will be built.

Apparently. Personally I would rather have the steel roof then blowing $2600 for the CF roof.

Most will be tracking their cars. Sun/Moonroofs just add additional weight. Essentially BMW is forcing buyers to purchase the CF roof option...

Correct. It is an unspoken rule of M cars, especially older M3s, that slicktop is what people desire. You can see that reflected in prices when comparing cars with/without sunroofs.

Also, performance wise you want a lower center of gravity which no sunroof/carbon roof achieves

You're correct it's the biggest reason I would need to get rid of it.

If I tracked my car, there's no room for my helmet

Do we have any word on how much extra headroom there will be for CF roof vs sunroof, especially for back seats?
