The ultimate guide for carbon upgrades on the BMW M1000RR - From track day essentials to full equipment

BMW M1000RR: Understanding the Racing DNA

What makes the M1000RR special?

The M1000RR fundamentally differs from the standard S1000RR through its uncompromising focus on racing performance:

Exclusive M-Features:

• Massive carbon winglets from the factory
• M-specific suspension tuning
• Lightweight alloy wheels in M-design
• Special M-aerodynamics package

Why carbon upgrades are particularly effective on the M1000RR

Already optimized base:The M1000RR is already aerodynamically and weight-optimized from the factory. Carbon upgrades can further enhance these optimizations and fully exploit the racing potential.

Homologation and regulations:Many carbon parts for the M1000RR are based on the WSBK version and bring real racing technology to the road.
