Reading comprehension - I said metal roof, not CF and yes, a metal roof can make a difference compared to the heavy ass glass and frame of a panoramic roof. Do you really think the last two generations of M3s saved a ton of weight and center of gravity effect from a CF vs steel roof? Yes? Well there you go - panoramic roof to slick top is probably just as big of a gain.
And besides, some people don’t want the sunroof and care more about rollover and reliability issues from a roof that is 2/3rds glass vs traditional metal.
We already put the running shoes on the hippo, but are they spikes or long distance waffles?
