Agree that 2 - 3 lbs weight drop isn't enough to justify the effort. I'm a bit too obsessed with lightweight vehicle dynamics. My touring is 3200# with a half tank, while retaining a comfortable interior. The 300# diet is easily felt and makes me smile whenever I drive the car. I know I could have bought a Lotus Elise instead, but the practicality of a long roof is miles ahead of the little two seaters.

Your signature block shows commitment!

Cool - I'm obsessed with weight too. I'm sure I will do something with the mirrors at some point

Gang - I finally removed and weighed my M3 mirror. Here are the results

E92 M3 Mirror - 2.29 lbs
E92 non-M Mirror - 2.33 lbs
E36 M3 Mirror - 1.58 lbs (this mirror would need a custom, enlarged base plate to fit the e92 opening which would presumably add to the weight)

Is that the weight of an e92 m3 non powerfolding mirror?

Good question, yes non-power folding mirror.
