One thing I would change - lose the Vorsteiner trunk. Your car is much too modern for E46 knockoffs  |
Thanks for the compliment and congrats on the RC-8īs. I will consider the boot lid issue.

I'd guess at least 20-40 lb heavier for these items. Just a real rough guess.
Either way, it is going to be one fine ride.

Non of the items you mention are heavier than stock and most are actually quit a bit lighter. We have weight all these items. Yes sure about the brakes and no I didnīt take any of your comments as you trying to start an argument. You are more than welcome to question this or that!

Correct.
