PM the details! I would love to find out the cost for the replacement panel.
Any possibility for a Sunroof cutout?
Either way this thread has gotten interesting, Why I said this was a good race is that these 2 cars are so closely matched in stock form.
While I can understand that numbers and math do play a big role in this equation, there is still intangibles to take into account, IE: Drivers / road conditions / weather etc.
I can tell you from personal experience the M5 is a monster up top (as it was designed to be) the car sounds like an F1 car with FBO's.
Cant deny the marvel of the E60 M5. Last of the big NA engines for BMW.

Could you steer me towards where/who I need to contact regarding getting an OE tune? I'm new to the platform and currently running an EC tune and after dyno/data logging my tuner basically said the tune sucked overall. Looking for alternatives...

Honestly the whole point of a CF roof is to take as much weight off the roof as possible to lower the center of gravity and a sunroof would take away from that. Besides the fact you would need someone to design the glass/motor. This will be a complete roof replacement no sunroof !

Hey bud like i said it should be complete in about 3 weeks so once its on and tested i will post up full details and answer any questions ! The roof is being supplied by a big name carbon fiber company custom made for our cars and will be available for anyone to buy after we confirm fitment. The install will be done by my shop that has done many e46 m3 roof conversions to e4 m3 csl carbon fiber roof. The glass doesnt give much structural support so the car will actually be stiffer with the riveted/glued cf roof. Will give all info soon

I don't want to go off topic, but how does a FBO C63 AMG compare against a C6 Z06 with intake and tune up top? Around 120 or 130mph and above?
Just curious... do they walk the vette up top?

Actually I purchased the car with the EC tune already on the car. I took it to my local dyno/tuner who I've trusted with all of my previous cars. He made 2 pulls, looked at the graph/parameters and he told me it sucked. The a/f line looked like a rollercoaster ride and it's on the rich side... I even gave EC a chance to respond and review the tune. Their response: it looks "okay". I don't know about you, but I think a $1k + tune should damn well be spot-on, not "okay".
Maybe you should stick to what you think you know and not assume

After owning one I can say with 100% certainty the Z06 will put bus lengths on the C63

C6 Z06 will own you. A C6GS 6 speed is a better race but you will still probably lose. They are quick. C5 Z06 you will probably do alright against.

X2 on that
The c63 had EC tune and it's not very aggressive like few other tuners .
Take a look at this video u will see what I mean.

The only diffrence at the race between them is that the C63 had one extra passenger
