Carbon Buckets with Sunroof?
Is it possible to option the carbon bucket seats with a sunroof instead of the standard carbon fiber roof?
I assume the answer is no as I have not seen such a spec yet, but I don't really understand why. Does anyone know? |

If you are ordering in USA, the bucket seats are part of the carbon package, which includes the carbon roof. So no, you cannot get a sunroof with bucket seats. |

In Canada its possible on the G80 6MT (not sure abou the comp) since the buckets and the sunroof are both stand alone options. Might change in the future with new packages/options, but don't hold your breath.
I'm sure many people would hav gotten the buckets if it wasn't part of a package.

But for the G87, it seems they’ve packaged the bucket seats and the carbon fiber roof such that you can’t have one without the other, which is just stupid, especially for a model that doesn’t have that many options available to begin with. |

not possible
the funny part is, it would probably be less expensive to order the carbon pack and have a shop swap a sunroof panel over from an m2 or 240i, repaint, and sell your carbon one. a pair of oem carbon seats is going to be like $15-20k+ easy

Defeats the purpose of weight saving. Reconsider.
