Those seem like the most likely candidates for porking the car out. Even if it's only 10 pounds here and 20 pounds there, that could add up to a much heavier car.
What I'm getting at is, I would rather order a car with very low options if this stuff adds a lot of weight since it seems like every '08 out there is loaded with options. I don't mind all the extra gadgets but I don't need them and I'd rather have a sharper performing car, but if it's not a big weight penalty then I'll consider one of these leftover '08's I'm seeing.
If there's already a thread on this, by all means just direct me to it if it has the information in it, I searched and didn't find anything.
Thanks

if you re giving such thought to the weight of options, perhaps look at another car...there are much more raw sports cars than the m3. unless four doors is what you need.
