    Z3M Track Build Complete in at 2561 lbs dry

    Many have been following my thread on the build here;
    https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...-to-full-Track

    Thought it noteworthy that i had the car corner balanced and the weight reduction achieved was better than I expected.

    Total weight with (250 lb simulated driver weight in the car) + (10 gallons of gas a@ 6 lbs per gallon = 60 lbs) is 2,871 lbs
    Dry weight = 2561 lbs
    Stock weight = 3131 lbs
    3131 – 2561 = 570 lbs of weight reduction

    That's pretty good. I was at 2806 autocrossing my S54 MRoadster, with the stock interior, no cage, and lightweight seats.

    That's about 400# less than I'm running (basically stock). Should really give you a feeling of lightness and agility.
