i think really just the bigger brake rotors and calipers weigh more. The swaybar link might be a little heavier since it's longer and the additional weight of the strut knuckle too, but that is offset because the m3 has lighter struts than standard cars. M3 struts have a separate attachment for the tie rod and control armComment

Also - the E30 M3 uses aluminum control arms (which are of course lighter than the steel ones).i think really just the bigger brake rotors and calipers weigh more.

It's probably a wash, a pound or two difference at most.

Lol, i was really bored todat and weighed things. I didn't have M3 rotors for the front, so I weighed Z3 one. I also didn't take into account aluminum control arms, i don't have them, and i don't trust them.
Front:
e30 m3 is 1.2 lbs heavier than stock
e36 325 is 1.1 heavier than stock
Rear was hard to balance, i didn't have proper weights, but it was between .2-,3 lbs.
I'll bring weight sacle next weekend to get actual weights.Comment
