My E46 M3 started at 3400ish and it's now 2700lbs with a full cage and no aero. The car is probably mid-2300ish to 2400 without the cage so I think 2800 is possible in an E9X.

No carbon fiber other than a CF hood which sucks and is as heavy as the OEM hood. Long story, just needed a cheap replacement. The only money I've spent on lightweight stuff is lexan windows and sunroof delete.

I have removed a ton of little brackets, bolts, and stuff which adds up. That also takes a lot of time. Doing stuff like removing the right side wiper and cutting the linkage in half, lightening the steering column will likely be required.
