Carbon Fiber roof.
Hey Guys,
haven't found similar tread anywhere, wondering if anyone knows whether you need any special instrument or qualificaltion (simply saying BMW dealer) in order to replace the the roof panel. Has anyone a single clue on it? Thanks in advance! ![]()

I think it's not the real problem to install it, you just need to ask the instruction how to do it from the supplier, I think it's Revo? |

You may like to go back a while and check the Powerbeast built thread on the notorious Dakar Yellow 1M. He was probably the first who installed a real cf roof on a 1M. Or just PM him about details that you want to clarify.
I agree about the IND comment above as well; however, I doubt they can match the price of Revozport either for the item or for shipping cost to Moscow.

Powerbeast has been good at replying other queries, but was really quiet about the roof.

There is NO good reason to do a CF roof. Not only will you dramatically lower the value of your 1M, you will put your life in danger. I'll be happy to send you photos of the wreck. |

I'd be interested to see how your insurance company treats you when your passenger sues you for injuries. Everyone assumes their own level of personal risk. I'm a lot more confident trusting the PhD-level BMW engineers who have crashed and tuned the car for safety than some guy in a body shop with no degree and a glue gun. |
