Yes, I was expecting to be not a lot below 1450 at the time. BMW can we a bit odd with their quoted figures. For instance the e46m3 quoted weight by BMW includes 3/4 tank of fuel and driver, whilst when they quoted the weight for the CSL that was with no driver and half a tank or something, naughty imo.
Would you attribute the bulk of the drop to losing oe backboxes & fitting the Apec 8s ?
Roughly I think the savings go something like...
20 kg for my carbon bucket, maybe a bit more. Only 1 mind.
20kg for the wheels
10kg for the brakes
20kg on the back boxes
7-10 on the battery
Maybe 5 on the airbox
5 on the rear control arms
Perhaps 2 or 3 on some of the rear trim removed.
The 1380 figure I got was without some of those mods, when I next get the chance I want to weigh it on the same scales that dave did for his unusually it seems lardy cab.
