Carbon Fiber Interior

xcelir8bmw · 02-26-2022, 06:59 PM

I have the black gloss interior and would like to either replace it or cover it with a carbon fiber genuine or look.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Ali express carbon around $200. Stick on

Or you can do gloss carbon m3 replacement parts for about $1500

Nice! Post a pic in that thread once you get in on and installed. If you read through the post you'll see a few tips on getting it perfect

Dumb question, but with the 5pc kit, where does the long skinny piece go? The main 4 pieces are obvious.

Little strip right above the cup holder door.

For what it's worth, I'm not impressed with the port installed CF interior trim option. Probably still better than other trim options looks wise, but not for $1400..

roho3323 · 02-27-2022, 05:15 PM

I don't consider $1400 too much given the OEM comes with the knee pads wrapped in Alcantara and of course you get the MPerf badging which is a nice touch. I think it comes down to whether or not you want glossy or the dry carbon look. Personally I really liked the dry carbon, more so in person as it has a 3D texture to it giving it a more exotic feel…plus no smudges or fingerprints.

DriftKing860 · 03-01-2022, 10:52 PM

Does the gear knob get any CF with the trim option? Are the Alcantara pads comfy?

soflacarguy · 03-01-2022, 11:40 PM

I was very interested until I saw the price was 1400. Suddenly Tetragon is very attractive!

Im already at 59 and change with everything including ztk, only option missing is acc. Just can’t justify the price for CF, but I agree its the best trim.

Nothing for gear knob, it's just center console and dashboard trim replacement plus the knee pads. I'm tempted to go with the M perf wheel to complement.. somehow seems like a good deal at like $600

I was considering this also, but don't you also have to get the trim/cover for the wheel as well? which is another $500+ making the total cost over $1100?

Good question! You're probably right, product pics seem to show it with Cf trim on the wheel, but there's so much confusion around specs and options right now.. that price seems more BMW's speed

DriftKing860 · 03-02-2022, 09:56 AM

The steering wheel is 975 and the cover is another 500.

A few of us.

Looks really nice, I would buy it!

MPR · 03-24-2022, 06:36 PM

Thanks, yes it looks really nice. Definitely going to pick up a kit if I get the M240, or M2 if it doesnt have carbon already.

BMWMFanM240i · 03-29-2022, 07:26 PM

I recommend getting the BMW OEM carbon rear spoiler. It makes such a difference on the car. I have one for sale:
