Question for you guys from a fellow BMW owner

Hi Guys, a couple of us in the M2 Competition forums were talking about the "dry carbon" interior on our cars and we were wondering about how the material will age.

I believe the material is also available in the i8, a car that's been around for a few years now. However, I don't know if it was available right off the bat, or if it's just something BMW only recently started offering.

Anyone have any insight about this? Maybe someone with an older car with the dry carbon interior can tell me how the material has aged (assuming such a car exists?)

Anyway, thanks for reading, enjoy your sex on wheels!

Search carbon fibre interior in this section.

It's a very high quality CF, and nice to the touch.

No deterioration to date on mine. Looks great too.

I prefer it to normal polished CF.

Had mine 3-4 years, absolutely 0 changes in appearance.

Slightly rough texture. Arguably more authentic than some other propositions?
