All things Karbonius

The trunk will undoubtedly go nla soon as there's no reason for them keep making them for years to come.

Streamline!!!!!!!

Amazing. Still waiting on the CSL intake GB too!!

Getting on a call with a brand that makes a quality pre-preg CF airbox this PM! Not Karbonius though.

I have my hands on about 40x OEM CSL trunks. I'm working on pricing right now as BMW readjusted their cost pricing during the pandemic. I'm unsure if it'll go NLA and I can't comment to it with anything solid - I just wouldn't be surprised when looking at the CSL wheels debacle and other M Performance products on other platforms. The pre F8X M Performance and Special Edition products were made by niche manufacturers throughout Europe, notably Italy. The molds are old and haven't been renewed for the most part.

Thanks incredible that you pulled that off.

Karb will make a great trunk, but light weight is not that important in an area where it's stupidly easy to lose weight.

Even if a Karb replica is better than OE, like the airbox, esp when production left Deweijth (sic) temporarily, it still won't be more coveted or valued esp if/when the part goes NLA or access is restricted by VIN# to owner.

Amazing company. They are very meticulous. I've been working with them on multiple E9X M3 products and I'm hoping we can extend the collab to benefit E46 M3 owners.

less than 50 pounds weight savings for both sides unfortunately. also no mention of being able to use oe glass and moldings too

Also in an area where weight loss isn't as needed as the front fenders or hood or roof.

It's very easy to gut the back half off the car, though you do add some weight back in with reinforcement and half cage, if you added one. Full cage is heavier, but goes forward as well.

Hopefully down the road I can buy another e46 m3 and SC that one and add all these CF Karb parts to it. The entire side panel in CF they made for our car must save a ton of weight.

Really excited for their CSL trunk. Can’t wait till that get released (I think end of summer last time I spoke to them).

Fantastic company. I have an early airbox and a couple of the nutserts that hold the halves together have pulled out. I inquired about the proper way to repair it (myself) and they told me if I sent it to them they would fix it, clean it up and add in any updates free of charge. Hard to beat that kind of service especially considering I am not the original purchaser.

Exactly. A trunk that fits like oem but actually serves a purpose other than looks.

genuine csl trunk is still lighter than standard. There’s nothing better than original bmw csl parts. And i have Karbonious cf roof

[DropTopKingM3]

Once this bumper and trunk are released, I'll be selling my OEM CSL..

Their products are amazing.

+1. I’ll definitely be doing the bumper. I’ll do the trunk if they make a cabrio one.
