MR, would you mind asking what the weight of that battery is and if it will be for sale later on?
It's mentioned in the last paragraph of the first post. They probably used lithium battery and BMW states it reduced weight by 14kg or 31lbs.
Considering the amount/cost of carbon fiber or other materials needed to offset 31 pounds, why wouldn't BMW just make this battery stock on all M models? Seems like a very inexpensive way to shave 31 pounds.
