^^ Thanks! Weight threads are one of my favorites.
So, I thought I would get clever tonight and see what an oh-shit-handle delete would save. Considering there are 4 handles in the sedan and they are at the very top of the car I figured it was a good place to delete weight. One...I don't use mine at all and two my wife was using the door grab handle to hang on at the Nurburgring and any other time I warn her "hold on to your shorts". So I figure they really are not needed.
Here's the thing though... BMW has deleted the screw system holding them in. Also, the plastic handles appear to be hollow with some substructure making them amazingly light.
With caps, the handles only weigh 0.21 lbs each. So at best you are saving a little over 3/4 pound from above your head if you factor in the weight of delete plugs (I'm not sure if those are even available).
Still...given delete plugs, it might be worth taking them out since they do nothing for me. In the rear a single hook could be added (perhaps from M4?) for clothes.
