    WTF does that even mean?
  2. Even more importantly, the OEM seats weigh (combined) 108 lb (the number I quoted above was only the right seat. Here is the link to that being documented. How in the hell can you save more than the parts weigh in the first place?

1. BMW can decide if it's 100 lbs or 150 lbs. It's 100 lbs on the scale for the base M3 car vs the CRT car. The 150 lbs is when you consider the weight from the extras in the base CRT as for example DCT etc.

2. Well either BMW is lying or the seats are heavier than your source state. It's one of the two.

I've seen info about the front seats being +60 lbs and the rear ~45 lbs. that's a 165 lbs combined. Shaving 50 lbs from that seems more than doable with CF and BMW show what they can do by saving more than twice of that.
