Bit of an old thread revival but I cannot believe the M8 GC doesn't have roof bar fixing points, where the standard 8er GC does. Other M cars with carbon roofs have the fixing points under flaps in the channel covers (like most cars) so it got me thinking, what sits behind the blank channel covers on the M8?

Pulled them up (they just clip off, very easily) and....what do we have here? Oh, it's the standard 8er fixing points!

So I see no reason not to just use a set of 8er GC roof bars and either just remove the covers when they're in use (to access the fixing points) or buy the 8er GC channel covers with flaps.

No idea why on earth did BMW left the fixing points in place and then covered them up with a blank cover.
