We saw all the carbon fiber M Performance body panels that will be available towards the end of this year. I'm sure BMW will not be able to recoup all their development costs from just offering them as accessories. Consider the CF roof. What were the tooling costs for that panel alone and how many really are going to have their new cars go through major surgery to have it installed?

I think it is almost a certainty that BMW will offer a 2019 or 2020 CS or CSL or GTS version of the M2 will all those CF panels installed from the factory. Why wouldn't they? No further development costs. Just additional revenue from a special model.

Thoughts?
