VERY<br />
STRONG.<br />
Very light, but very<br />
strong: As carbon<br />
fibre reinforced plastic<br />
(CFRP) has a lower<br />
density than steel or<br />
aluminium, significant<br />
weight savings can<br />
be achieved with a<br />
functional design.<br />

CARBON FIBRE<br />
IMPROVES<br />
PERFORMANCE.<br />
For BMW M Performance Parts, carbon fibre is a key technology<br />
in the development of sporty accessories. Intelligent lightweight<br />
construction – e.g. for the roof, bonnet or boot lid – improves the<br />
specific power-to-weight ratio of the vehicle and thus increases its<br />
dynamics. Carbon fibre also cuts a fine figure with aerodynamic<br />
attachments and with exterior and interior surfaces. Here, the<br />
material shines above all with its race-typical appearance. Three<br />
variants of the material are available:<br />
1 In the CF-SMC-Carbon variant, the hand-crafted production<br />
ensures a previously unattained appearance. The careful manual<br />
processing of the carbon-fibre material creates the special depth<br />
effect and a finely differentiated, multi-layered look.<br />

Carbon fibres made of<br />
carbon are extremely<br />
strong and have excellent<br />
stiffness. They are first<br />
spun into threads, then<br />
woven together and finally<br />
embedded in a plastic<br />
matrix.<br />
2 The classic carbon fibre is coated with varnish. This brings<br />
out the depth effect and the structure of the fabric particularly well.<br />
3 An open-pored carbon-fibre structure was developed especially<br />
for the interiors. The fibres are sealed with a filler and coated with a<br />
thin layer of silk matt protective paint. The structure of the carbonfibre<br />
material remains open and can therefore be felt. Visually and<br />
haptically these surfaces offer a special experience – especially in<br />
combination with Alcantara.<br />
