How much weight saving over a sunroof equipped vehicle?

Any other links to a press release with more detail? anything from bmwna?
I would have to guess these are going to be factory options due to the install complexity? Though probably only the german factories and not SLP. |

Would much rather see a panoramic roof instead come to the 3-series.

Same here, or at least an option for both. The old school small sunroof opening looks out of place on a new gen car in any price category.

Link to the original BMW Global PressClub press release:
https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/globa...of-spring-2021 Note model updates are for international markets and until BMWNA posts a similar update, keep praying, LOL.

Great news !
I placed an order last week for a M340i sedan and I was just on the phone with my dealer to take the carbon roof and also the carbon fiber trim as options Very happy that it's available on a 3 series ! |

Whilst the weight saving is great I can't imagine why BMW would offer this option on any Msport 3/4 series rather than keeping it exclusively for M cars? M owners going to be salty about this I think

Same lol and I live in sunny SFL I truly hope they build a limited M340i RWD at say 3700 lbs as final hoorah to the end of an ICE era. Throw in a manual as well as this carbon roof, 30 hp bumP, which is easily done via a mild tune. This would make a great alternative to the G80.

It's only available for the M cars (the M performance models Mx40x to be precise), though I see what you are getting at...

I would assume it's the same. Maybe you are referring to the article from Bimmertoday but I think they are wrong. |
