This late in the game, if we have seen CF roof by now, then we won't for the M2. They're trying to camo LBB here.
Playing devil's advocate here (mostly because I'd love to see the carbon fiber roof). Agreed that all new M cars with CF roofs available have double bubble (better than zagato if you ask me) but if you're going for cost effectiveness, a flat roof has to be cheaper to produce than the double bubble.

You still get the weight distribution gains just like in the e92 M3 and e46 M3 CSL flat roofs on the cheap with the added benefit of infusing the M2 with more of the current M coupe lineup identity (albeit not double bubble but better than no carbon fiber roof at all).

Plus its much easier to conceal for an added bonus of a great surprise at the reveal!
