I'll be good. 0w is resistant to gravity so it won't leak out of the oil pan. One more reason not to run 10w-60.

Let me know how easy that blue tooth is to retrofit.
I don't have nav or I-drive but I would like to retrofit Bluetooth w/ BT audio. I guess the Tune2Air is a good option vs a couple $100 combox.

Sounds about right. I have a stripper with only DCT and heated seats as options. Manual cloth seats, carbon roof, no nav and all. Weight was 3,485 lb with quarter tank, or roughly 3,460 lb empty. About 35 lb lighter than yours.

As others said, in the ballpark. Mine was 3486 lbs with 1/4 tank. MT sedan, no sunroof, no fold down seats but all other options incl extended leather. This is around 3,450 empty or 3,550 with full tank. I also have ~83 lbs of weight savings mods vs standard zcp (wheels, brakes, suspension, M perf exhaust with full cats). This was on corner-balancing scales.

I'm at 3465 lbs with 1/2 tank. It's pretty much a zero option car, cloth interior, manual seats, etc. About as light as they come from the factory.

I've got MPE, which sheds about 20 lbs, and is about the only mod that saves weight. In fact, my Bilstein Clubsports are steel, and add back 20 lbs over the stock aluminum shocks.

How much are you imagining the difference is between E92 and E90 weight?!

How do you like the Bilstein clubsports? Is the ride still tolerable on the street?

I'm actually posting an initial review in a separate thread about the Clubsports. The sheer lack of feedback or use of these has always boggled my mind, especially for a dual duty car where track and street performance are needed. Ride quality is very good, but you can tell it's really going to shine on track. I would totally DD my car as is, and it has solid subs, diff bushings, front monoballs, etc. etc.

In short, I think they are fantastic so far. They just work, just like all Bilsteins do for their intended application.

Checking back in on my old thread. Got my car weighed on the official NASA scales at VIR. Full tank of gas with me in it came out to 3,634 lbs, so about 3,460 car weight.

Weight related details:
DCT transmission
Carbon fiber roof
RPI catless x pipe and RPI muffler
Driver and passenger seats replaced with fixed backs
Rear seats removed
Harness bar installed
Trunk interior stripped
Apex EC7 18x10 wheels
OEM brakes

Coincidentally I also snuck my E90 onto the scales at a NASA event today. 3/4 tank of fuel with me in the car (I weight around 185-190). Car has basically every option including all the heavy ones (DCT, sunroof, EPS). Heavy, but pleased with the weight distribution though! (car is on coilovers)

Yep. That's what I figure mine is at. Between 3800 and 3900 depending on fuel load.

E90 spec sheet difference was IIRC 22kilos, not pounds, so ~50lb heavier

Last time I weighed my full interior street E90 it was just under 3500 with a full tank. That’s with more than 150lb of weight loss from various mods. I have seen e92 guys with just exhaust and wheels under 3500
