Aftermarket Carbon Fiber Trim
On my 2020 M8 Coupe Comp I elected not to go for the $5400 Carbon Fiber Upgrade package because I thought it was 1) way overpriced, and 2) too much carbon fiber. I'd like to do my mirrors, possibly the front fender vents, and maybe the spoiler. These parts are not available from BMW (yet). Are they available aftermarket and does the CF pattern match ?????

Actually the parts are available through BMW to match carbon package as I had to order a damaged piece. The lower carbon splitters were about$1500 for pair. None in US. 2 weeks were here from Germany. Plus IND has some of the carbon parts available.

Personally like the CF pieces that IND is offering. From a a design perspective the splitter, skirts and diffuser improve the look of the car without being overly aggressive. Even that rear spoiler updates the rear end nicely. BMW CF package just swaps plastic with CF, apart from the slight larger spoiler, at least on the M8 |

Keep rubbing that price point in. However, as you confirmed it doesn't erase my absolute bitch of the WTF? greyish rear bumper trim around the diffuser, tailpipes, etc. At lease I ended up with free carbon fiber mirror caps with my Cerium Erradication program.

the carbon fiber rear is more black than grey. it's the same color as the mirror caps on the m5c and other m8s. But I take your point, it's not jet black like the wheels. it probably should be, but it matches the rest of the carbon fiber package. |

Looks stunning! That said I still am dumbfounded on the "WTF were you thinking BMW?" greyish color trim on the diffuser, etc. Black aka Shadowline makes 10x more sense as it goes with any exterior color you can throw at the car.
