[Black M5]

I have taken 266 lbs off of the beast which has made a huge difference.

My list is as follows:-
Seats (92 lbs)
Headers and cat back exhaust:-(70)
Brakes (50)
Cf Bonnet (30)
Wheels (24)

Then there is the light weight battery like you have stated, cf trunk and roof. The next step would be going radical with plexi windows, rear seats removal, adding cf fenders, and replacing parts with those of titanium material.

Hope i helped :M5rev:

What did you do to the seats and brakes. Also, I have the Vorsteiner hood and they said their CF bonnet doesn't really offer any weight savings over the stock hood. Both are already light. What brand do you have?

Regarding the seats, they are corbeau TRS and weigh only 27lbs each... The brakes are brembo's 15 inch all around and are 50 lbs according to Brembo.

I took my hood weight from Dave's notes. Note there is the light weight battery which another low cost mod can be added.

Hood:
OEM:47.7 lb; Vorsteiner GTR:28.6 lb; CA & E6: 17.6 lb.
Weight saving: 19.1-30.1 lb

Item / weight saving / finished cost:
cf hood / 19.1-30.1 lb (GTR, E6) / ~$2,000, ~$2,500
cf trunk lid / 21.1 lb (ViS or CA) /~$1000, ~$2,500
Recaro full function Topline seats / 62 lbs / ~$3,000 OR ultra lightweight seats / 92 lbs/~ $400
Ultra lightweight battery (Voltphreaks, assume 6.5 lb) / 55 lbs / ~$400
SS exhaust (incl headers) / 70 lbs / ~$7,000
Brembos / 48 lbs (similar for Stoptechs) / ~$9,000, ~$5,000
Lightweight wheels / 24 lbs ~$2,500
Lightweight flywheel (UUC clutch pkg) / 13.5 lbs / ~$2,600
Dump the usless tire goo / 6 lb / $0
Total weight loss: 318.7-358.2 lbs.

Ranger, is the listed weight loss of evosport the single or double sided cf bonnet ?
