How rare is this?
My 2023 M340i has the optional carbon fiber roof and I haven’t seen (irl or online) with it besides like that one YouTube video. I’m just wondering if it’s rare.
I heard that some counties don’t have access to certain options which has had me thinking if it’s rare. I’m in Canada btw. |

Yet this option is introduced in Europe around 2020, but no one takes it because the sunroof is more in demand, rare does not mean sought after, it also means no interest.

It’s probably also in less demand in Europe because you guys are able to order the M340i with a slicktop. |

Or maybe you find a track junky that wants the lighter weight and/or no glass over there head type of car. I bet in a few years this car commands a premium over a sunroof car on BAT.

Hey, I answered you over on Reddit, cool to see you here.
But as for the resale value, two trains of thought: some people like unique, CF roofs. Others see higher value in the moon roof. Some CF roofs offer more headroom, and some moonroofs offer more headroom. Just make sure you keep that CF's clear coat waxed, because it often looks horrible when the clear coat starts to scratch, peel, or cloud up. Especially in Canada with ice and sleet sliding off and micro scratching it.

How much weight is saved with a cf roof vs the moonroof?

https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...1709176&page=2 So not much of a weight saving compared to the slicktop which we can’t get in Canada or the US.Looks good on your M340i in BG.Its a nice contrast. |

This is my first car so I’m not too worried about weight savings for racing n’ stuff. I just love the look of it and was wondering if it’s rare cause I’ve only seen like 1 video of another M340i with CF roof |

The 50 lbs is still substantial if your tracking the car.You also get the increased headroom if you are tall and track the car. I agree that it looks great,especially on lighter colors like your BG M340i or Alpine White. |

I honestly love my moonroof on my G22 m440i but I wouldn’t think twice about giving it up for a CF roof… just way too cool looking. Especially if you have lots of CF bits on the car. Aesthetics and rareness outweighs in this scenario IMO
