WOW
Taking modding to the next level. I am also curious to know how 200lbs were saved without making major interior changes. If it can be done and still look that good on the inside.. that is crazy! congrats by the way!~~

The finishing is not yet complete, these wheels still have to be shot peened etc... the seats do not of course save 100lbs per side, they save only about 20lbs total. The rear seats are refinished with lighter and less padding etc... and that saves another 23lbs I believe. Wheels and tires save another 28 lbs in all four points and brakes another 8lbs. Exhaust etc... in titanium saves about 38lbs. Fly wheel/clutch about 28lbs. Boot lid 11 lbs, new battery back 35lbs, plus a few other goodies here and there for the difference. Engine after all has been said and done is the same except for a lower center of gravity. Anyway, thats sort of the scoop. lol!! Oh, yes, some of you suggest other Recaro seats that would save ALOT more weight, the problem with those is that none had the side impact air bags and I am unwilling to forgo those. You sure could save a lot more weight if one wanted to by removing subwoofers, washer fluid, and so on.
Naturally I will include more pics and things move along.

Agreed. RD does unquestionably great work, but does it really make sense to throw in BMW performance seats and slap a RD logo on it?

I really like the wheels
Clever way to mount the harness bar behind the pillar and hidden right before the rear window The only other bar I have seen was drilled right into the middle of the seat belt holder and looked terrible Can I get a price or any info on the harness bar?? |

Very cool. I'd love to do that to my car but probably never will.
BTW, Servizio Clienti Sportivo actually means Sporty Client Service. I'm very fluent in Italian.

To track the car, won't 245/305 tires promote terrible understeer?
I mean people put 15mm spacers in front on stock wheels, so I imagine with the correct offset it should be possible to put 265 or up to 285 front tires... |

Could be a fair enough point, I would add however that this may be a tad different because of weight and dynamics of wheels, tires, adjustable sway bars, brakes and springs among other things that are different from stock. Finally 305s in the rear are necessary because its difficult to put all the power down efficiently and this seams to do it a lot better.

The wheels are photographed 'as is', out of the mill, nothing done to them, hence the odd finish (it's cutting lubricant). This first set was polished, then shot-peened, and finally glass beeded and clear anodyzed. I will post some pictures of the finished wheel later today.
Some of you have expressed concerns about understeer, but we are also changing sway-bars and suspension, so there is more to tire size to add to the equation. The RS46 needs more than a 295 in the rear, as any of their owners will confirm. We are planning a shakedown of the car at Willow Springs some time in early September, at which point some of these numbres may change, but you are all welcome to come and take a look at the car firsthand. If we can swing it, we may try and have some track time for other M3s to compare performance with the RS46 Competizione. If we do, all other M3s are welcome, especially the supercharged ones. |

BMW-M-Mexico, I've seen this car getting built and it's fantastic. Congratulations again. I'll definitely be putting those RC-8's on my car in the fall.
One thing I would change - lose the Vorsteiner trunk. Your car is much too modern for E46 knockoffs |
