When it comes to interior upgrades, few components change the atmosphere of a BMW cabin as much as the center console. The factory console in the G8X platform is functional but heavy and visually disconnected from the rest of the car’s motorsport-inspired design language. Karbonius set out to change that with a fully re-engineered carbon fiber replacement built to deliver both aesthetics and performance.
OEM Fitment, Motorsport Construction
Inspired by the CSL console, Karbonius developed this piece entirely from aerospace-grade prepreg carbon fiber, autoclave cured at 125º in Spain under ISO 9001 quality standards. Each unit is 3D scanned, CAD designed, CNC trimmed, and test fitted in-house to ensure perfect alignment and OEM-level integration.
This is not a simple overlay. It is a complete replacement built for performance and durability. The full carbon construction saves more than 4.8 kg over the OEM plastic and metal console while adding structural rigidity and a genuine motorsport feel.
Configuration and Finish Options
The Karbonius G8X console is offered in several configurations to suit different builds and preferences.
- Default option: console, hand pad, and armrest in 2x2 carbon fiber, matte or gloss.
- Upholstery upgrades: Alcantara or black leather for the hand pad and armrest.
- Weave and finish: 2x2 twill carbon fiber only, available in gloss or matte clear coat.
Each console also includes three interchangeable frames for customization:
- Closeout frame for a clean CSL-style appearance
- CSL/CS wireless charger frame for integration with the OEM charger
- Cup holder frame compatible with factory G8X cup holders
Precision Engineering and Weight Savings
Each component is designed, prototyped, and produced at Karbonius in-house in Spain using the same standards applied to their motorsport and aerospace projects. The result is a console that is stronger, lighter, and more refined than the original, one that feels cohesive with BMW’s carbon-rich interior design.
