weight reduction plan for my e90 335

[Darth Vader]

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.

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

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.

most probably. people who have this kind of personnae you can spot from a mile away and they're rare. Very refreshing from the stuffy shirts we see every day.

I went through BBS wheels spec. I couldn't find good offset from RGR. Only BBS RS GT with ET33 front and rear for 18 x 8.5/9.5! 19" should look better in E90 335i. IMHO.

hi that may not be true.every 100 ibs static weight reduction = 10 extra rwhp.for unsprung weight its 1.8 times more.100kg reduction = 0.3 seconds faster from 0-100.

i know that my rgr is 18 ibs front and 19ibs rear.not sure about volks.i think volk most expensive ?

Re: weight reduction plan for my e90 335

So far, Volk ME has got the best offset to suit E90. Forged and light weight and not expensive.IMO.
