If that pans out, that'll be roughly 57 lbs off the roof. When I get a chance I'll update the Carbon Fiber Roof thread on the derivation of that number - https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1564722 . |
I would likely go for glass roof delete. I'm sure it weighs a LOT more than 57 lbs. These things can weigh 100-200 lbs all in. |
It's not going to happen for the US market. The X3 M40i has option 402 as standard, which means moonroof is standard for US X3M/X4M. Due to DOT safety testing, if BMW NA has 402 standard for certification, then it can not be deleted. No way around it, unless you import a euro spec roof with 402 deleted and retro yourself.
