Since e90 posts sucks. I figured I'd ask my e60 buddies. Been thinking about wrapping my roof on my montego blue E92 in carbon fiber vinyl.

Looking for some opinions. Should I do it ?? Is it ricey???

do it. it looks sick and i think carbon fiber looks real nice on the e92. if you are going to do it then id suggest adding other carbon fiber accents like grille's, splitters, etc.

I'm also thinking of wrapping the roof spoiler and the mirrors to set it all off.

go for it, i think it will look great on an E92.

the texture of the 3M di-noc carbon looks very nice and it has a nice feel to it. it adds a touch of sportiness to the car

the vinyl is also very easy to work with. just search "di-noc" on youtube and you will find videos that'll be very helpful. i also have a thread with a few pix in the DIY section di-noc roof
