2025 Vegas Red M50

We picked up the wife's new i4 M50 today. Vegas Red with Cognac interior. Windows tinted to 20%. The Vegas Red is an amazing color and of course the Cognac goes very well with it. 👍

Was thinking about adding a CF spoiler to mine. How's the quality of this one?

This is a KarbelCarbon CF spoiler. It is a bit larger than my M2 spoiler, but not by much. It is also lighter than the M2 spoiler. It came with the double-sided tape installed. The quality is very good and install was a breeze considering there was no factory spoiler to remove. I'd rate it an 8.5 / 10 ( slight deduction as it is not as stiff as the RWCarbon one and for having the name "Karbel" on the rear edge of the spoiler... I'd prefer it didn't).

I have a RW Carbon M2DTM CF spoiler on my M2. Now that I can compare the two on the cars I actually prefer this one over the KarbelCarbon one as it is a tad bit smaller and stiffer and does not have the company name on it.

When I found out the RWC one was out of stock I thought that the KC one might be a better choice anyway as it is a bit larger and might go better with the size and lines of the i4. Again, after seeing them both on the car I slightly like the RWC one better.

I give it a 9/10 with a slight deduction for not applying the double-sided tape like others do.

The quality of the CF weave and clear over the top appeared the same between the two. You really can't go wrong either way. It really comes down to size and again it is not a big difference between the two. As for price, they were close to the same but the KC was more to ship.

Thanks for the detailed comparison! I did notice Karbel name stamped as well. I wonder if it can be removed relatively easily though. It looks like it could be silk screened.

It appears to be under the clear.

OMG I'm very happy to read this. I just ordered an i4 in Vegas Red and really wanted to choose cognac for the interior and was struggling; you see cognac paired a lot with "cool" colors (it looks phenomenal with blue, green and grey exteriors) but wasn't sure about the match with red.

I think it compliments the color very well. 👍

Back in May I debated between waiting for the 2025 and getting this color or getting a 12% discount from dealer + rebate on car I have.
Next car I get I am actually going to get a "color" rather than black, grey or white
