About the only real CF parts worth getting are the JCW parts. Almost every other ebay part is a CF overlay or wrap.

As with lots of things you usually get what you pay for, and with CF you gotta pay to play...

That said, Lyle at http://www.lylesvinylstyles.net/euro/mini.html makes some very neat looking parts.

 

Thanks For The Response And That Site Does Have Some Good Stuff, Just Out Of Curiosity, You Kno Where I Can Get A Jcw Black Grille For My R56 ?

 

Probably dealership or online parts. There are plenty of OEM vendors on here and the internet.

Don't expect too great of a price drop as it's an OEM part and the prices tend to not vary much. Like Richard said, you gotta pay to play when it comes to modding.

 

Thanks ptrd

 

outmotoring.com has the grille I think.

There are basically 0 aftermarket CF parts for our cars, OEM parts are expensive and, in my opinion, pointless. The OEM CF parts are only parts that don't weigh a lot in the first place, like mirror caps, rear diffuser, and hood scoop. Obviously only for aesthetics.

I've been waiting for an R56 CF hood, hatch, and fenders for years.

 

I agree they are more or less strictly aesthetic (read pointless)--even so I orderd the JCW center steering spoke and the ebrake handle for my JCW. I'd have gotten a JCW shifter to but I'm really not a fan of the oblong version that they offer.

 

Edited to correct information:

- '07-'10 MC can use the factory grill and the MC-specific JCW grill.
- '11 MC can use only the factory grill. No JCW grills bolt up. No MCS Grills bolt up.
- All '07-'11 MCS grills and the MCS-specific JCW grill are interchangeable.

 

Anyone know of a vendor to source the interior trim for the hidden compartment and the its counter part on the drivers side.

Looking to do the silver trim.

 

@pheatton, i can get them through my job i just found out, im a bmw technician in miami and i can get cf parts less than what it is out there, like the shifter ****, is 99$ plus tax the e brake is the same plus tax, the center steering wheel center cf trim is 60$ plus tax, and the hidin compartment and behind the tach cf parts are 230$ plus tax, basically just pm me and i can get you the price on any thing oem and jcw, based on my findings!!! this includes rims etc...

 

@blainestang thanks for that research, going to order mine TODAY!!! lol

 

@Newminidude

Wow I will have the part numbers for you shortly. Thanks!

 

See above post

 

You have good taste Those are the only 2 things I want.

That JCW shift **** is probably the oddest shaped and strangest feeling **** I've ever seen.
