I went for the 3rd option aka soft top
Partly because I wanted it, but moreover the waitlist for G82cx seemed like forever…but if I were to get a coupe this would be a tough choice. I personally like sunroof, as it keeps the cabin more brighter, although CF certainly wins with exterior coolness. |

I had sunroofs on my last three BMWs and I love having it. However, the G80 will be my first M car and I love the the look of the CF roof. I really want the CF roof so no sunroof this time.

My M3CX is my first car in 30 years without a sunroof and I don’t miss it, but I have other vehicles with them and an older Z4 hardtop convertible if I need wind in my thinning hair. For me, it was the beautiful contrast with SSG, my carbon fiber exterior package and brighter full KO interior that swayed me to not pick the sunroof. I wouldn’t stick my nose up if I passed another G8x with their sunroof open.

Love the CF roof after having had a sunroof my last 4 cars. My main reason for previously having them is I’ve usually had black interiors and it really lightens it up with the sunroof. But since I got KO on the inside it’s plenty bright. I rarely opened it to let the wind in, more just for light.
IMO light colours that contrast with the CF look awesome. Dark exteriors less so. For the interior if its also dark, it might be worth going with the sunroof to have it feel lighter and open. Of course it’s your preference in the end no matter what any of us say. But I sure do love the oook of PB with a CF roof.😉 |

Mine with sunroof. I didn't want another convertible and my wife wanted some way to open the roof. I would have ordered the sunroof anyway, as having a fixed roof is a waste, IMO. I like form and function in my fun cars, and a carbon fiber roof has no function.

If it had a pano roof, I'd have gone for it no question. The opening is kinda small that I went with CF roof

I went with sunroof and glad I did! I have purple so now more of the car is purple. On the inside , the increase in amount of sunlight is really nice.
I’m only a few days in but very happy with my decision |

I also went with sunroof. Looks nice with Skyscraper gray and I really like the additional light.

You "may" only notice the lower center of gravity if on a racetrack, whereas a sunroof has an actual noticeable function. My personal feeling is the carbon fiber look has been overused for a while now, so "badass" may just actually look bad!

Obviously the aesthetics are subjective, though I’d venture to guess you’re in the minority to say it looks bad. What I was pointing out was that it’s totally incorrect to say there’s no function. If you take a pill to lower you cholesterol, you might not notice it but that doesn’t mean it isn’t functional.

Driving two G8x, one with, one without, side by side, every day driving, city, highway, even track (for most of us) will have absolutely no noticeable differences in performance, i.e. lower CG and a few lbs lighter setup. It is all about the “coolness” of the CF. The sunroof option has the function. I am glad that BMW is offering both options for those that prefer the functionality of the sunroof |

Sunroof here! Love it and wouldn't have it any other way. It's such an enjoyable feature for me, although I do love the way the carbon roof looks. Popping/tilting the sunroof open is one of my favorite things to do and reminds me of my dad's BMWs when I was growing up. He would always drive his E34 and E46 that way and I just grew to love the look. The car is fast enough. I'm not chasing hundredths of a second around any tracks so I am happy with my choice and use it essentially daily - even in the cold.
