E90 LCI OE+ Carbon Trunk
I know, it's my E92, tap right for more info!
1:1 OE design & functionality
It's indeed a 1:1 E90 LCI carbon trunk, I just don't have good pictures of it. It uses the same development mindset as the E92 OE+ carbon trunk.
Save 9.6 kg
The OEM trunk comes in at 13.4 kg / 29 lbs. The carbon trunk weighs 3.9 kg due to its complete carbon construction.
OE fitment
The panel gaps mimic Genuine BMW parts with the needed adjustability to fine tune fitment. You should expect fitment as on my E92.
Ready to spray
The trunk's outer shell is gel coated in white, while the inner section is a glossy black, with exposed carbon.

Installation Notes
Professional paint & body installation is highly recommended.
Options
Wing Reinforcements
Additional carbon layers can be added the traditional mounting points for GTS and GT4 wings.
Build journal: a special series
If BMW M had unlimited budget.
By the time the M3 GTS rolled out, BMW M had mastered carbon composite manufacturing at scale.
Yet the GTS' trunk was metal. With a car already prohibitively expensive, it seems the engineers got stopped short.
In this Product Series, I document the unboxing and test fit of the E92 Superlight Carbon Trunk. They are ideal lightweight trunk options for those seeking to retain original aesthetics with much lighter weight.
Cheers,
