A recent video uploaded on YouTube by the R44 Performance channel showcases a bold transformation as a BMW M3 Touring undergoes an impressive modification—its roof being replaced. However, before your jaw drops, rest assured that there is a good reason behind this dramatic change.

The goal was fairly straightforward—to accomplish what BMW didn’t. More specifically, to swap the original roof of the fast wagon with a carbon fiber upgrade from Alpha N. The process starts with meticulous preparation. The experts from IND Distribution delve deep into the car’s interior, carefully removing various components such as trim pieces, the headliner, the boot lid, the roof rails, and a complex network of cables. This step is akin to uncovering the car’s intricate structure, peeling away the layers that define its character. However, the real spectacle begins when the team boldly tackles the task of cutting away the original roof.
