Hi all

Couple of questions

1) What does an E92 M3 weigh in "clubsport" spec? ie stripped rear, lighter seats, lighter battery

2) What scope is there for N/A tuning with basic breathing mods and a remap?

Thanks

+1 an E92 Clubsport build is a tempting next toy.

From 1600kg I think you would struggle to get to 1300kg without resorting to some extreme measures, such as composite panels. Stock seats are very heavy. A manual would be lighter than a DCT I expect.

Power wise, the S65 is in a pretty high state of tune as it is. Maybe 440-450bhp.

Clubsport spec, maybe 70-100kgs lighter perhaps? Some bucket seats and a lightweight battery will be some easy wins.

You can strip the rear out but a cage nullifies any weight saving there.

An AP pro brake kit will shave off a further 2-3 kgs per corner.

Trackday wheels will save a further 1.5kgs per corner depending on brand.

Some coilovers are maybe 1-2kgs lighter per corner than EDC.

If you want 150kgs+ stripped out then you need a fully stripped interior with lightweight doors etc. Then kiss goodbye to a good chunk of usability.

Engine-wise you can get a healthy boost of power from a primary decat and a remap. Intake mods are just there for extra induction noise really.
