Just had her corner balanced and wanted to share the weight - 3,409 lbs - with a half tank and rear seats removed (-52 lbs).
Without any gas in the tank and seats back in, she should weight in at 3,427 (3409 + 52 -36 [~6 gal of fuel]). Edit: My configuration includes the M Performance Suspension. |

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Less than I was expecting. Wonder what that would mean for MT car with no sunroof.

That's 3409 + 36 (gas) + 52 (rear seats) = 3497 with all fluids and interior. That's about what BMW publishes if I recall. I would think a 6MT, no sunroof car will be about 50lbs or so lighter.

Yours is a bit lighter than mine.
3705lbs with 170lbs driver and full gas tank (86lbs) So empty tank and driver's seat would put me at 3449, and you estimate yours at 3427 for the same conditions. Do you have an aftermarket intercooler? Or maybe it's cause mine is fully wrapped in Xpel. Oh my Dinan sway bars are heavier than stock too. My (relevant) mods: Full Xpel Full tint Eventuri Intake MPE 5mm Spacers KW V3 Coilovers Dinan Sway bars (1lb heavier than OEM) Wagner Evo 2 Comp (don't remember how much heavier than OEM, maybe 10lbs) FTP Charge and Boost Pipes I took my rear seats and engine insulation out the other day, so that's minus ~58lbs. Should put me at 3391 dry. Different front seats, carbon hood, and liteblox battery will take me down to ~3255. But that's gonna take time, that's $12,000+ of stuff haha.

3400 vs 3500 lbs...still too heavy!
Car would be a rocketship at 3000 lbs to be honest I need to get the PE corner balanced - wonder what the manual seats and one zone AC actually reduce in weight |

I'd expect 15-20 lbs in weight reduction for manual seats without heaters.

Start with a basic car - no sunroof, manual transmission. One piece seats like Recaro PPs and rear seat delete are probably the easiest way to lose a chunk of weight. After that, gutting the car off its sound deadening and carpets is the next big win. Body panels (hood, roof) are too intrusive and the bang for the buck and effort is on the low side, but every bit helps. I cannot compute how to get down to 3100lbs (drop 350lbs) without completely gutting the car ...

6 Spd 3582 lbs Sparco QRT-R (2019)-10 lbs ea before brackets(60-70lbs) Aftermarket exhaust-20lbs Rear seat delete-57 lbs Lithium battery-40 lbs Essex BBK-37lbs Coilovers-10lbs 18" rims vs 19's -15lbs That's about 250 lbs w/o tearing the car apart... So around 3335 without ruining the dual purpose of the car. That's my build over the next 2 yrs. Stage 1 is battery, rear seat delete, Coilovers. Stage 2 is the rest No carbon fiber panels, no gutting the interior, etc.

No, I'm saying the completed swapped seats and brackets are about 70 lbs vs OEM sliders and seats

Wait, how is a 6 speed manual heavier than DCT? OP stated 3461 lbs with all fluids minus gas.
Manual should be lighter, no? |

None available. Cheapest is the Fall-line for $1800. Might be able to get it cheaper on Black Friday, or PM a retailer here to see if there are any forum member discounts. Otherwise gotta make a closeout yourself for cheaper.

I being one of them... When I get my M2C I'll go see a friend of mine who will do this proper. Then I'll see if he wants to produce them for $500-$750...
