I believe this is the PN for the carbon trim on the G8X 32309882893


F95 PN


32302471438 seems diff but not sure what

i would say its a much harder finish than gloss and tougher against swirls- as there would be none.

but very prone to deep or anything that will scratch the surface.

Also very porous so if you touch it with a greasy hand it will absorb the dirt..


luckily for me the entire car is in PPF just for piece of mind

Thank you! The heating button seems to be the difference so I may try to roll the dice on the G8x part number and see what happens as I definitely need that. Appreciate the info!

also just at a quick glance the steering wheels controls seem to be different as well, not sure if you can transfer over

Agree. That is the color I ordered, but I got pushed to a MY2023, and BMW, in their infinite wisdom, decided to discontinue FDG for that year.

Yeah frozen pure grey replaced frozen dark grey. I don't like it. Probably going with either SSG or DG.
