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.

Because this is the process through which knowledge is gained, and maybe (hopefully) a meaningful weight reduction becomes possible, without sacrificing too much. And it's how the aftermarket community will learn where improvements are possible.
Becoming a better driver, investing in sticky tires, AND weight reduction are all ideal.
Maybe it's not going to be possible with this platform without sacrificing too much, but I applaud guys for investigating.
I suspect a ~3200# F80 would be a hoot @ the track.
