BMW Carbon Fiber Hood and Boot Lid Enhancements
BMW is generally known for their determination to sporty cars with exceptional handling and low weight. However, as a manufacturer, they must take into account an arrayof factors including cost when manufacturing the exterior parts of the car. For this reason, there is still much to be augmented to lighten the automobile and make it even more responsive.
CF is used extensively throughout the racing world as a alternative for steel and aluminum that is not only lightweight but also 3x as sturdy per weight as steel.
While normally reserved for the racing world including Formula 1, Speed World Challenge and ALMS Le Mans racing series, there are now a good selection of BMW Parts manufacturers that provide street legal carbon fiber bonnets, trunks and bootlids, diffusers, and other carbon fiber goodies for your BMW.
Vorsteiner is one such BMW Modification manufacturer that specializes in high end carbon fiber production. Vorsteiner is one of the few producers to offer dry form composites for BMW including the E46 3-Series, E46 M3, E90 3-Series, E92 3-Series, E92 M3, E93 M3, 6-Series, M6, E60 M5 and the new F01 7-Series. Vorsteiner’s dry carbon form fabrication is superior to wet lay form in that it creates a much more uniform and firm piece that won’t lose shape, warp or yellow over time.
Carbon Fiber hoods and boot lids will cut down unpsrung weight as contrasted with the factory aluminum or steel parts. This will make the car lighter and more responsive as well as augment acceleration by shrinking the overall weight of thevehicle. Vorsteiner’s components are available in a array of options such as single sided and double sided variants depending on budget and preferences.
In addition, most carbon fiber hoods feature vents that will allow heat transfer under track or hard driving conditions tofurther cool the engine bay. All Vorsteiner vents are strategically placed to increase heat transfer and create idealtemperature decrease.
Whether you are looking to improve the performance, cooling or looks of your BMW, a carbon fiber replacement hood, bootlid or trunk is a effective way to add appearance and function.
