The BMW M5 G90 is the heaviest, most powerful M5 ever built — and that scale is exactly why dry carbon fibre suits it so well. The right parts add intent to a big car, sharpening the nose, framing the rear and tightening the profile without shouting. This guide walks through the dry carbon upgrades that genuinely transform the G90 (and the G99 Touring), part by part, so you can build it the right way.
Why dry carbon makes sense on the G90
The new M5 carries real presence, but from the factory it can look softer than its performance deserves. Dry carbon fibre — pre-preg, autoclave-cured — adds depth and contrast against any finish, from Frozen colours to classic black, while keeping added weight to a minimum. On a saloon this size, restrained carbon detailing reads as deliberate engineering rather than aftermarket noise.
A quick note before you start: most carbon parts are made to order, and as with all aftermarket styling, professional installation is recommended for the best fit. If you're unsure whether a part suits your exact spec — G90 saloon or G99 Touring — message us first and we'll confirm fitment.

Front lip and canards
The front lip is the highest-impact upgrade on the G90. A dry carbon lip lowers the visual stance and gives the wide front bumper the edge it hints at but never fully delivers from the factory. Pair it with front canards for a more motorsport-led look that adds detail to the corners of the bumper.
Best for: buyers who want the biggest single visual change up front.
Bonnet / hood
A dry carbon bonnet is the statement piece. Beyond the obvious visual upgrade, it replaces a large steel panel with carbon, and on a car as substantial as the M5 it's one of the most striking ways to signal that this isn't a standard car. As a large item it's a considered purchase — plan lead time accordingly (more on that below).
Side skirts and wheel arch trim
Carbon side skirts lengthen the profile and tie the front lip and rear diffuser together — without them, the middle of a long saloon can look untouched. Carbon wheel arch trim is the subtler companion piece, adding contrast around the arches and complementing wider wheel setups.
Rear diffuser and spoiler
The rear is where the G90 earns its super-saloon billing. A dry carbon rear diffuser frames the exhausts and grounds the back end, while a boot or roof spoiler balances the silhouette. You've got two directions on the spoiler:
Boot lip vs roof spoiler
- Boot lip spoiler — clean, OEM+ and arguably the most tasteful finish on the G90.
- Roof spoiler — adds rake and a sportier stance, working especially well alongside a boot lip for a layered, finished rear.
Both are available in dry carbon; the right choice depends on whether your build leans "factory plus" or something bolder.
Grille, mirror caps and interior trim
Carbon details finish the build. A carbon kidney grille (some with integrated LED), mirror caps and air vent surrounds are the small touches that make a G90 feel intentional, and they're a great entry point if you want to start without committing to a full exterior kit. Inside, dry carbon trim, paddles and accents lift the cabin to match. Explore carbon interior trim to tie the look together.
Dry carbon vs wet carbon: which finish?
You'll see both terms when shopping the G90. In short: dry carbon (pre-preg, autoclave-cured) is lighter and stiffer with a premium finish, while wet carbon is more cost-effective with a slightly different weave appearance. For a flagship like the M5, most of our G90 catalogue is genuine dry carbon — including specialist dry-carbon houses like Paktechz. We explain the full difference in our dedicated finishes guide.
Building it as a package
If you're planning multiple parts, ordering them together keeps the weave and finish consistent and makes installation simpler. A typical staged G90 build looks like:
- Front lip + rear diffuser (the biggest visual wins)
- Side skirts (to tie it together)
- Spoiler, grille + mirror caps (the finishing touches)
- Bonnet (the statement piece, when you're ready)
Lead times, shipping and finance
Because parts are made to order, plan ahead: production typically takes around 10 working days, plus roughly 5 days for delivery to most of the world. Larger items such as the bonnet may ship by sea, which takes around 30–45 days — worth factoring into your build timeline. You can spread the cost with Klarna or Shop Pay instalments at checkout, and we ship worldwide with tracked delivery.
FAQ
Will these parts fit my G99 Touring as well as the G90 saloon? Many parts are designed for both the G90 saloon and G99 Touring, but always confirm fitment with us before ordering, as some parts are body-style specific.
Do I need a garage to fit a carbon body kit? We recommend professional installation for the best results. With any aftermarket part, minor fitment adjustment can be needed.
How long will my order take? Most parts are made to order — roughly 10 working days production plus about 5 days delivery. Larger items like the bonnet may ship by sea and take around 30–45 days. We'll keep you updated if a manufacturer's lead time is longer.
Is the carbon dry or wet? Most of our G90 range is genuine dry carbon fibre. Each product page states the material, and you can message us if you'd like a specific finish.
Can I pay in instalments? Yes — Klarna and Shop Pay instalments are available at checkout for eligible UK orders.
