Not 100% sure if the E90 is setup the same way...but might be worth an experiment. 5lbs of weight loss for free.

If you're willing to relocate the battery, you may be able to run a smaller gauge battery cable. I calculated I can run 6ga wire for the batter by reducing the cable length by 3 ft. Less and smaller cable equals more weight savings.
hehe when it comes to electrical, I stay far far away from that. I close my eyes and start writing checks to professionals because that topic is a complete mystery to me.

Your description of what you did could have been written in Russian and I would understand about the same amount! But it sounded good!!
