F80 Carbon Fiber retrofit
Got the center vent trim piece done tonight... Will do the other parts over the weekend but thought I would share initial progress.
Thoughts? not sure why the pic is sideways.. every time I upload it rotates it incorrectly.

Agree... Several aftermarket options out there.... but i'm a perfectionist and potential quality concerns with the weave pattern, markings in the finish, and overall fitment pushed me to go OEM. Matt @ Ocarbon did my S4 a while back, the finish wasn't perfect but it was like $550. My main concern with ocarbon is that he lays the CF on top of existing trim, adding a quarter inch of material... It caused fitment issues on my s4, never again. Anyways - I'm really happy with the OEM CF from BMW. The interior looks more sporty, exotic, upscale blah blah blah i love it

I would double check my part numbers but I believe it's this.

Looks great, though. Had M3/4 parts been available in February, I would have gone that route too. |

Looking good so far! Considering the price of the M Performance kit, the price doesn't seem completely unreasonable.

It may be wortth having the door handles done at ocarbon. I just can't deal with the 195 per handle. That or 725 for the perf. This just looks much nicer.

I've seen the M3 / M4 interior at my dealership.
Leather handles, They also have a leather extension to the console on the passenger side, I guess to pad the knee when hard cornering...

Another difference between OEM and oCarbon... the bottom strip is a glossy black on the OEM set.. really looks good against the CF.
Can't go wrong either way, the CF looks amazing on these cars.

Good idea. However i personally think it puts too much CF in the interior.. I think the black leather handles will keep it a little more understated and luxurious.

The factory door pulls were a PITA to remove, but the rest of the pieces are simple with plastic pry tools. |
