I would say go with CF mainly because that is the only option with the OEM M Performance kit BMW offered. If you go with CF, you’ll have to do everything in CF, including mirrors, front and rear diffusers (and even inside if possible). Otherwise, black would be better. IMHO

exactly my thoughts, once you go CF, everything has to be CF (side mirror covers, side skirts, front grilles, front lip, rear diffusers etc), maybe its too much CF

whereas i think gloss black kinda blends in.

I just bought a sapphire black F15 today, so I’m back in the forum after a few years away. The first upgrade I’m planning is the m sport kit, so I was thinking the same as the op. I’m tempted to go gloss black because it might blend in a bit more and look original rather than CF bolt on
