Bumping this compilation thread, lotta good data.
In case anyone hasn't seen Antigravity has a plug n' play Li battery for us and the m3 guys, drops 43lb. If you're needing a new battery anyways for 250-300 and wanted to drop weight, pretty good option. EAS recommends the 40ah and even though it's a lot less than our 90ah the 1500ca makes up for it (from what I've read) and the AG battery has a auto-restart feature, haven't been able to find a bad review or instance happening yet https://antigravitybatteries.com/pro...tive/ag-h6-rs/ Not yet, I've been looking into it

Also EAS is a forum sponsor so I plan on purchasing from them, hopefully they have some package deals going on for us or something No idea, I know for charging purposes it has a management system to prevent over charging.

Per Antigravity instructions I coded for the lowest output AGM. I can’t remember offhand what all the options were but I think it was 60AH. I purchased mine direct from Antigravity and I have no regrets. The battery has some nice features besides the weight loss also, I have it set to send state of charge updates to my phone every 24 hours. It also has a built in jump start which I haven’t needed, even after sitting for a week with comfort access the battery has never shown less than 97% charged.

Just letting you know as this happened to me with similar battery.
Voltage went up near 20v. I'm lucky nothing burnt out. Just make sure they have tested these in the car you have. |

I removed the plastic covers under the car. I'm talking about the ones under the passenger & drivers seat. About 2 lbs of sand, rocks, and dirt came out of each side. lol

I wish they had quality options for carbon fiber fenders and hoods for these cars. That's 50 pounds of the front easy

Do we not have plenty of options for CF hoods also idk about m cars but non m fenders are plastics so getting CF doesn't seem like it would save a lot of weight

Necro thread bump, I know, but I was searching weight reduction and came across this. Thought I would add a few things.
I just put some polycarbonate rear windows in my sedan. https://www.condorspeedshop.com/prod...39683764617262 I'm also going to be installing lightweight door cards in the back. Possibly in the front as well in the future. https://www.hardmotorsport.com/hard-...nels-full-set/ Between the plastic windows and the lightweight door panels, that saves 16 pounds. Lots of places have carbon fiber hoods and trunks for our cars now. Sedans still have metal front fenders. You can get fiberglass or carbon ones: https://www.hgkshop.com/collections/bmw-e90/products/front-fenders-7 That company also sells fiberglass front and rear doors and other parts.

Old thread, but just weighed the car today.
3/4 tank E92 CCC / Auto 3,430 was the weight. Have hardly “removed” anything inside. Carbon roof swap Front brakes (calipers lighter but disks are not) Fog light delete Muffler delete w/ resonators Apex wheels 19” Carbon hood (with a stupid amount of clear coat) Added - spoiler, front lip, side skirt extensions
