BMW M2 F87 | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber GTS Hood

BMW M2 F87 Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber GTS Hood

Engineered with motorsport intent for BMW M2 F87 owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber GTS Hood transforms the front of the car with aggressive GTS-spec aesthetics while supporting heat extraction from the engine bay. Imported from leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this BMW M2 F87 carbon hood bolts directly to OEM hinges and gas-strut points: a true direct replacement for the factory steel hood.

If your BMW M2 F87 tuning project needs more than a cosmetic upgrade, this GTS dry carbon hood delivers both heat extraction and weight savings. Inspired by the M4 GTS, the dual side air channels vent hot underhood air at speed and support engine-bay cooling on track days for both the S55-powered M2 Competition / CS (410-444 hp) and the N55-powered M2 Coupé (370 hp).

Key Features

• GTS-Style Air Channels: Dual side vents inspired by the M4 GTS; support hot air extraction from the engine bay.
• Prepreg Dry Carbon Technology: Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure for a more consistent weave.
• Significant Weight Savings: Noticeably lighter than the OEM steel hood; reduces front axle weight and sharpens turn-in.
• OEM Hinge & Gas Strut Compatibility: Factory hinge mounts, gas struts, and hood latch bolt up directly.
• Double-Sided Carbon Finish: Carbon weave visible on both topside and underside for a clean engine-bay look.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play installation with no cutting or drilling.

Prepreg Dry Carbon vs. Wet Carbon: Which Is Better?

Most aftermarket carbon parts are made using wet lay-up, where resin is applied by hand and cured at room temperature, leaving air voids and inconsistent weight. Prepreg dry carbon:

• Cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure → a more consistent weave
• A controlled resin ratio → noticeably lighter with very high strength for its weight
• The production method widely chosen in motorsport
• Minimal UV fading over years of use

Installation Notes

Installing the BMW M2 F87 GTS carbon hood requires complete removal of the OEM hood. Professional installation is strongly recommended:

1. Open the hood and transfer the underhood insulation pad if reused.
2. Disconnect windshield washer hoses.
3. Disconnect gas struts on both sides.
4. With two people, loosen hinge bolts and lift off the OEM hood.
5. Install the carbon hood on hinges and adjust panel gaps (~5 mm front, ~4 mm sides).
6. Fine-tune hood stop bumpers so height is flush with fenders.

Care & Maintenance

Wash with pH-neutral car shampoo. Apply carbon-safe sealant every 6 months. Keep pressure washer at least 30 cm from surface.

FAQ

Will the hood vents let rain into the engine bay?
No. Channel geometry is designed to extract hot air; normal rainfall is not an issue.

Does this fit the BMW M2 G87 (2023+)?
No. F87 and G87 have different chassis codes and front-end geometry.

Compatible with both M2 base (N55) and M2 Competition (S55)?
Yes. All F87 variants (N55 Coupé, S55 Competition, S55 CS) share the same hood hinge geometry.

Is it lighter than the OEM hood?
Yes. It is noticeably lighter than the OEM steel hood and reduces front-axle mass.
