“Carbon fiber is highly desirable for components that need to be stable AND
lightweight, such as for use in automotive engineering. That’s why carbon fiber
is used in aerospace engineering (➜ Read more: The Vantablack BMW), as well
as in the construction of aircraft, boats and bicycles. In car-making, carbon fiber,
like many a material before it, has found its way from racing to mass production.
Because every ounce of weight saved counts in motorsports, lightweight
construction is one of the basic premises of developing a racing car.
At BMW, for example, the material is used in roofs for BMW M models (➜ Read
more: The history of the BMW M logo and its colors) and in visible carbon fiber
structures for BMW M Performance Parts. This article will primarily focus on the parts
in visible carbon fiber. The material is also used in body components for the BMW 7
Series, and was previously in the BMW i8 (➜ Read more: A future classic) and most
notably in the BMW i3. In this electric vehicle the entire car body (➜ Read
more: E-mobility around the world) – the passenger cell – is made of carbon fiber.”
