      Wow, this part sure came quickly. Craving a carbon fiber roof for your F10 M5 which does not have one from the factory unlike the new F12 M6? Challenge Engineering has you covered with their carbon fiber replacement panel that weighs only 11.5 pounds. Details were not provided on the weight savings but we would guess it will save close to 30 pounds at a high point in the car which will improve handling.

        I've seen these things in person and they are incredibly impressive. This should be a drop in the bucket if you can afford the M5. : )

        This is a great spot to lighten the car.

        Does the M5 come with sunroof delete option?

        Challenge USA and IND Distribution get their CF products manufactured by one of the best I've ever seen! The weave is always spot on.

        I don't think so, which makes this even more impressive!
