That's why some of us like it more than other actual M's. It needs less to accomplish big time.

A CF roof would no doubt shed a few pounds and lower the CG a bit -- not a bad thing. It's probably not worth the price for this alone though. But, it is oh so sexy. That's probably the only reason a prefer the M3 coupe over the sedan.

Cheers.

It won't.

There are more considerations to be factored in than just a CF roof. I had an E90 M3 before trading it for my E92 M3, and the roof wasn't a consideration at all.

I will never tire of reading this article, especially the "Verdict" section. Despite the fact I have the actual magazine upstairs, I just sat and read it again on my laptop
