BMW 2 Series & M240i G42 iDrive 8 Pre-Preg Carbon Fibre Centre Console Trim Set by FORM

After the release of the new FORM Industries Interior Trim set, FORM have made a separate kit that is for the new iDrive 8 system. Available from Forge Automotive supply only, or fitted at our sites in Darwen and Leeds.

This Interior Kit is a full kit which installs by 3M-Tape, straight over your existing cockpit interior. No removal or drilling required. FORM recommend applying the adhesive promoter (included in your set) and leave to set for 2 minutes before peeling off the cover of the 3M-Tape and applying.

Made from pre-preg carbon fibre, it creates a long-lasting, high quality gloss finish to the interior.

Common questions

What is pre-preg carbon fibre?
Pre-preg is carbon cloth that arrives from the mill already impregnated with a measured amount of resin. The part is laid up in the mould and cured under heat and pressure, usually in an autoclave or oven. Because the resin content is controlled, the finished part is lighter, stiffer and more consistent than a hand-laid one, with a cleaner weave and better dimensional accuracy. It costs more to make, which is why pre-preg parts sit at the top of a range.

What does "dry carbon" mean?
Dry carbon is the everyday name for a pre-preg part: carbon fibre all the way through, rather than a carbon skin over a fibreglass or plastic base. The surface still has a clear lacquer, but there is no excess resin in the laminate, so the part is light and rigid.

What is a 2x2 twill weave?
The weave pattern in the carbon cloth. In a 2x2 twill each strand passes over two and under two, which gives the diagonal pattern BMW use on their own M Performance and M carbon parts. Choosing 2x2 means aftermarket and factory carbon on the same car match.

How do I look after a carbon fibre part?
Treat the lacquer like paint: wash with pH-neutral shampoo, avoid harsh solvents, and wax or seal it. UV is what ages carbon, so a protected finish lasts longer. Forge Automotive can apply paint protection film to any carbon part before fitting, which guards against stone chips and keeps the weave clear.
