Is the premium on the BMW CF parts worth it over the offerings from AutoID, R44 performance and CT Carbon?

I had historic issues with my old F87 M2c with trying aftermarket CF products and wondering if I should just bite the bullet and pay the extra for BMW CF products.

Have people had any issues with fitment/quality and longevity of the aftermarket company products for the G87 M2?

10 years ago I would say that OEM quality is better than most of the aftermarket parts offered but these days most high quality aftermarket items are made using dry carbon which is on par with OEM parts and much cheaper.

Just found it very hit and miss in terms of fitment and weave quality in the past but bmw are quoting £770 per mirror cap for the g87 which seems a bit excessive!

Got mine from RW Carbon, couldn’t be happier.

Can speak to R44 and the MHC kit. It’s top notch and fitment is perfect.

From my experience, bmw mperformance parts aren't any better quality or fitment than most aftermarket parts. They're also really marked up compared to the same oem parts from online dealer websites. Imo, anyone who pays to have these parts port-installed is really getting bent over.

I just don’t like the parts - there’s better designs aftermarket. So the choice is easy.

Honestly, it's going to be hit and miss unfortunately. From my experience, higher end stuff like TRE (AutoID) is just as good quality as BMW OEM, while mid tier ones are not as good. By mid tier I mean resellers that have the same products like you see on ebay (Chinese knock offs) that they inspect prior to sending out as well as companies that that work directly with the Chinese factories and slap their stickers on the box. You typically will have to modify or finagle the parts to make them fit right. If you don't mind a few imperfections and some work, you can save a bit of money.
On the low end, you have ebay parts that may or may not come as described and you sure as shit can't send them back.
If you're looking for the highest quality, I would say OEM and the high end stuff that costs close to OEM prices, other than that, in my experience and well a lot of others here (just search the forums), mid and low tier stuff is crap.
