I couldn't find any threads with itemized weights, so I decided to make one while gutting my daily. These are all parts off an 87 325i vert. I weighed in at 2,880 on a quarter tank of gas without me in it. I've yet to weigh in since I stated removing parts, going back soon though. Hope this helps anyone trying to decide whether or not they wanna remove something.
rear seat backrest with headrests and headrest brackets
-20
rear seat bottom bench
-11
carpet
-32
rear door cards
-10
floor mats (not including drivers mat)
-4.15
dash with all vent plastics
-15.75
HVAC box (no heater core)
-12.95
heater core with both pipes
-3.45
AC components (I think I might've only gotten 80% of the pieces)
-16.70
various plastics (seatbelt cover, door sill, seat vents, etc)
-8.45
unneeded wires (HVAC, heated seats,etc) still have more to go
-2.55
glovebox including top and side plastics
-4.5
both center consoles (including BMW car phone; awesome, I know)
-4.90
tar under rear seats
-3.30
tar from rear floor
-1.70
tar from driver side front
-3.55
tar from passenger front
-1.20
tar from center console front & rear (more to remove since dash is gone)
-1.70
I still have plenty of things to remove. Idk how useful this thread will be, but I will keep it updated as I go. Once I get as much weight out as possible, I will then start to replace parts with CF and FRP. Finally once the car is at its lightest, I will add weight back in where needed to correct the weight distribution.
If you guys have any questions let me know. Hopefully all the weights are mostly the same from verts to coupes to sedans.
