weight reduction plan for my e90 335

stock car weight = 1625 kg

mods weight saving

1) bbs rgr 18" with ps2 = 25kg
2) braille battery (9.5kg) = 13kg
3) pss9 = 8kg
4) brembo gt = 12kg
5) supersprint(from oem DP) = 12kg

total weight saving = 70kg

shedding another 30kg from my body.so total = 100kg.

so targetted kerb weight = 1525kg.

financial cost =
facial expression of a defeated beng =

finally after all these years i do not have to stand down and stand fast any more.
my journey to the dark side is complete.the ultimate driving machine is mine.

Re: weight reduction plan for my e90 335

all that weight saving decreased his 0-100 time by 0.00001345 seconds. Brilliant $ to speed ratio of $20,000 per millisecond.

Re: weight reduction plan for my e90 335

you are not dedicated enough. BBS RGR is relatively heavy, go for the Volk Racing ones. 6 lbs lighter at least.

weight reduction is always good. It's a fruitful obsession I guess.

Weight reduction is hard to impress anybody at all. You can't see it. it's quite non-poseur unless you flaunt it among enthusiasts.
