For the most part they don't add terribly much weight. What interests me, is if BMW can push the performance of the M3 even more by introducing the M-performance models. I think we are seeing this with what likely carbon composite components. That is a win. Save the stripped down, lightweight, no comfort feature car for limited edition versions. If I want a street legal race car, that isn't an M3 (at least for over 25 years). Leave the M3 as the track car you can take your grandmother to dinner in.
