No it doesn't. Your problem are the "rails" sitting on the left an right of the roof. Changing their color in Photoshop is not a problem, irl however, you'd have to have them painted. So CF wrapping will look plain stupid if those rails are black. And the other problem is, the 1ers front and rear windows are not the same width at roofline. So you will not be able to reproduce the optical effect you have i.e. on an M3.

There is masses of 1ers with wrapped roofs. Look at it live. I did and I didn't like it a bit. That's why my car will be black and not white.
