Fully stripped e92 m3 weight

How much would the e92 m3 weigh approximately with a fully stripped interior except for the necessities (driver seat, steering wheel, etc)

the weight of the full cage would offset any savings from the lighter seats and stripped interior.

Just for reference, even the M3 GTS which does have a lot of weight savings still weighs in at 33XX lbs. I doubt you would save much weight gong to CF hood, bootlid, etc considering they are already pretty damn light considering from the factory. Getting this car down to 3100 lbs is pretty much out the window.

The m3 gt is like 27xx pounds. Carbon fibre EVERYTHING should make a difference. How else do they get it l 27xx pounds?

what about removing the ac compressor/condenser and also the heater core and blower? I bet that could add up to 100lbs+

What about the side windows - you never need those at the track
