Most of the weights in any modern BMW are in the sound insulation and stock seats. And unless you racing competitivelyp, it would be just a waste of money. If you want faster times, spend the money on sticker tires and better driving skills instead.

I'm just gathering as much info as I can. I find it very fascinating to try and save weight especially for no cost (and I especially like when I replace a part, also saving weight in the process...I try to keep that in mind no matter what mod I do). What I am learning on this car though is that BMW has done a very thorough job and street-minded weight reduction will probably be pretty limited. Seats, exhaust, battery are probably the main low-hanging fruits. Battery and exhaust though will make the front bias worse.
