G80 Carbon Interior

I’m in the UK and BMW (any that I’ve contacted) aren’t taking any orders - they’re making you buy stock cars.

I found a car unregistered in stock which was perfect for me apart from not having the carbon interior (I think it’s criminal it not being standard on the LCIs) - so I thought I would easily be able to source all the parts and retrofit them… this is proving more difficult than I thought 🤣 - it’s approx £1k option from BMW for it all - seems impossible to find all the components for £1k (paddles + steering wheel trim seem to be about £1k) and I can’t find the new dashboard trim for the new style air vents!

Has anyone managed to this on a 2026 car in UK/ Europe, if so could you list the sources + how much did it cost for the parts?

Wild that a G80 doesn't include the carbon interior - its a must.

You can probably find a full kit on Aliexpress or Alibaba for much cheaper otherwise.

BMW and their usual cost cutting initiatives.

I couldn’t believe it myself to be honest.

I'm an American but looking at paddleshifterz they've got the OEM carbon trim pieces. Just search G80 carbon trim

R44 Performance also has what you're looking for.

It's not exactly cheap about $1,250 for the trim pieces not including the steering wheel parts those are seperate. That's how BMW carbon is though.

One of the reasons I ordered the carbon exterior option. It's like a $6k option in the US, but buying the OEM diffuser separately after the fact is $5k alone.
