Yes, cutting the roof off a 1M is pretty insane now. A lot of people did it early on before they realized it was a modern classic. Now, it would be pretty dumb. The car has no sunroof and there is little weight saving, it would be basically cosmetic. Not to mention you will probably weaken the car and aftermarket roofs do not get the rigorous BMW TUV testing. Carbon fiber is not to be trifled with in an accident. It can pop off completely, shatter and be extremely sharp where a metal roof will fold and stay attached.
It really makes no sense. If you want it for cosmetic reasons...it actually looks ugly to me, but if you like it, they have wraps that look like fiber.

I agree it would be a shame to cut a 1m and a Cf roof Beyond the slick top will likely save only 11-13lbs but it won't weaken the car anymore an e92 or f8x car with a Oem roof would over a non sunroof model. The 1m has a support bar like the oem cars with CF roofs. Revozport roofs are TUV approved for quality but that doesn't have a ton to do with rollover etc
