From what I read so far, CF can crack and hard to repair/paint if damaged. Also the MPE exhaust tips are cut straight round compared to the slanted cut exhaust tips in M2C giving the rear a slightly unique look. That means, the stock M2C rear exhaust tips will look unique/different but adding MPE will make the rear look the same as the outgoing M2.

M Perf CF parts can be an expensive add-on but if it is pain to maintain, then I will probably skip this time.

The car is mostly going to be used as a daily driver and for weekend fun.

You guys have any opinion? Would love to hear...

Short answer is if you buy high quality CF parts like the OEM ones you have nothing to worry about. If you smash them in an accident they won't be able to be repaired though.

I have slant cut f80 tips on my N55 M2 so either way it's going to look like some previous M2 variant if you care.
