Guys,

I purchased a 2013 M6 in 2016 with less than 8k on it, and this forum has been very helpful since then. Now it's my time to help those of you that need it.

Fast forward to 2023, the sun is brutal in S. Florida! My carbon roof turned yellowish and developed water spots. After checking the threads in the forum, I started to freak out about finding a shop that could repair it.

I talked to 3 body shops including two high-end ones. Both of the high end ones asked right away if it was a BMW, as apparently they get a lot of requests to repair the carbon roofs and said they wouldn't attempt to repair it. They didn't even know what the process was.

Then I found Eurowerks in Pompano Beach and spoke to Patrick, one of the managers and one of the owners, Santos. Both looked at it and they said no problem! They had done many carbon roofs and explained the process.

I'm posting this to help any of you out with a carbon roof issue and need a trust-worthy resource in S. Florida. It's a very clean shop. Patrick and Santos were very reassuring. Santos took me for a tour of the shop, and there were a lot of nicer, high-end cars in for work, and both guys are genuine and passionate about quality.

I just picked up my m6 on fri and the carbon roof is like brand new!! Patrick explained that they removed the top layer (i think what others in the forum call BMW's gel coat) with just a razor blade and start peeling what looks like parchment paper away. This exposes the origin carbon (which is not yellow) and then they CAREFULLY sand. Santos said they finished with 6 coats of clearcoat!

The original before photo is posted, but it rained today and i didn't get to take a photo of the repair and will follow-up and post later this week.

If you need yours repaired in S. FL, I highly recommend Eurowerks! Their info:

Eurowerks
4840 N Powerline Rd
Pompano Beach, Fl

Good luck!

Thanks for the post. Make sure you post it in the M6 and 2013 and up model forums. Everyone in here, on the G80 side, the cars are 2021 and newer.

If your car took 10 years for the roof clear to start going, we probably won't see an issue for at least that long.

My M4 is a 2022, with the car full PPF, so, Id hope that it even lasts longer than that.

Ok thanks for the info, i didnt realized i posted on the G80 side. Will repost in the m6. Good luck with your M4.

Out of curiosity as I'm looking to find somewhere to have my roof done also, what did it cost you to have it reconditioned?

It was $1500 and the process: 1) Removed old gel coat layer with razor blade and peeling back what I called parchment paper exposing original carbon fiber 2) Carefully sanding 3) 6 coats of clear.

Good luck!

Excuse the bits of dust in the after photo, I was advised by Eurowerks to wait 30 days to wash and wax roof
