2020 M8 Gran Coupe - Carbon Roof Delete?

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I am ready to order an M8 Gran Coupe which comes standard with a carbon fiber roof. However, I really, really like panorama sunroofs. On an M5 you can order a no cost option to add a sunroof and delete the carbon roof. In the M8 ordering guide, it does not show an option to substitute a panorama roof for the standard carbon fiber roof. Does anyone know if this will be available or am I just out of luck?

I haven’t seen a single reference to a sunroof being available in any M8 (or for that matter the last two generations of M6)

I asked the same question and was told that the panoramic roof is not available on the M8. It is available on the M850, fwiw.

Do not believe that is true as it is not an option in the official 2020 ordering guide for a M850i nor was it an option for the 2019s. Out of curiosity is it an unlisted option? I wanted the carbon fiber roof so paid for it in my build but would be good to know for others out there considering a M850i coupe.

Sorry, let me clarify. The panoramic moonroof is an option for the 2020 M850i Gran Coupe, not the M8 Gran Coupe. I think the confusion is between discussing the Coupe versus the Gran Coupe.

Thanks for the clarification and detail as I'm sure it will help others in their search for a perfect build. For myself at 6'6" moonroofs are always an issue in loss of headroom. That aside for my M850i I wanted the carbon roof so no questions asked even if there was an option for the panoramic moonroof and yes I fit perfectly in it.
