I ordered with a moonroof, TBII, full tartufo, M4cx. I'm an open roof fan on occasion. I'm not planning on tracking, so the weight issue, isn't. Should I want a CF look, I can wrap it, but doubt that I'd be able to install a aftermarket on a CF top. YMMV, and it's why they're called options..

It’s human nature. 99% of the people with M cars are not tracking anyway, so by definition it’s a status purchase. Makes sense that the trend would continue to options. A lot of the M factor is, look at me! I’m not immune to that, it’s part of why I bought it over a 340i. That’s just life baby! |

Left it body-colored, and it looks good.

My (prior) favorite of the cars I’ve owned was a 650 convertible… I don’t live in Vegas anymore, but I also couldn’t resist the option to have at least part of the roof open. Wasn’t about to go with a convertible in Quebec though, so moonroof it is.

I went with sunroof but swapped out the red shark-fin with a CF shark fin - that minor tweak makes it look perfect, IMO

Wait, are moonroof and sunroof different options?? I have moonroof on my spec (but want a sunroof). Going to be really bummed if I can’t open it. I don’t remember seeing two distinct options though, or I definitely would’ve chosen sunroof.

I use them interchangeably… I don’t think there are two options, and it definitely opens

I've had all of my previous cars with a sun roof. Its noisy, its heavy and it reduces the headroom. On a sports car, albeit a luxury one, in my opinion its pointless to have it.
I stripped out my E90 335i sedan and turned it into a dedicated hdpe and autox car. I personally weighed every single part I took off the car. I can tell you that the entire sunroof cassette with rails, motor, glass, drain channels and hardware weighs 47lbs. That's a lot of weight and what's worse is that it is the furthest possible distance from the center of gravity in the car. To truly understand what that means, imagine 45lbs dumbbell on a 4ft pole exerting torque. That's a lot of torque wanting to induce roll over. |

Like so many things (color, wheel choice, etc, etc)…..the decision to option the sunroof is purely subjective. To each their own….there’s not a right or wrong decision. |

Thank you for making me feel slightly better about not optioning the moonroof. Seriously, I went back and forth for literally months before finally deciding on the slicktop. And even after that, continued to second-guess myself.

Most people could care less if you have an M or a 3 series. And most don’t even know the difference unless you are into cars. Our cars are souped up 3 series and that’s all. With the M badge on so many non true M’s, the brand is watered down anyways unfortunately.

I personally love the CF roof. I never felt the need to open the sunroof/moonroof on any of my cars. I like the sporty look of the CF roof and I would pick CF over sunroof every time.

I have the moonroof on mine and had one on the F82 I traded in for it. I often tilt it up for ventilation particularly on a freeway when I don't need the A/C. I like the looks of the roof in body color rather than the black carbon fiber, especially with IOMG and the Tartufo interior.
