Less weight

Is there carbon fiber door for the m5 ?
I had been looking everywhere and couldn’t find any !
Any tips on getting less weight ? I already have carbon fiber hood .
And if i remove the passenger side seat does it affect on the car ?

whats your goal for the car? If wanting a light car probably best to start with something other than a 4,000+ pound hulk like the m5.

Lighter front seats, lighter wheels, lighter exhaust, carbon brake rotors, delete sunroof if equipped and replace roof with carbon, carbon hood and trunk. After that, you probably need to start removing sound deadening. Adding power also improves the power to weight ratio.

Beyond a certain point, a built engine is necessary. And eventually a built transmission. Not cheap.

Why are you guys entertaining a person who has only posted twice.

Less weight sure remove all the doors hood and trunk.

To what purpose ?

Do you guys track down there ?,,, lol.

Send a pic of your car so we can see the carbon hood - and provide the corresponding advice.

Of course people do what they want with their cars, but if cars had a conscience think how they react to the way they are treated. Some owners take these beautiful cars that are designed to be the epitome of performance and luxy and just trash them. Some perform lobotomy by tinkering with their brains (ECU) and some use performance enhancing drugs (alternative fuels/additives). Others just strip them, use unspecified replacement parts, make changes not specified by their creators. How sad they would feel when they end up in such owners hands. Damn shame.

Remove passenger seat, remove rear seat, remove carpet/ sound deadening, change front seat to pole positions, there is a carbon fiber trunk u can do, remove all carbon aero, remove trunk carpeting, change battery to light weight, remove oem exhaust change to lighter weight dual pipe (not quad) resonator delete, catless primary and secondary (those cats weigh a lot). That's the furthest one could go, unless you fabricate carbon doors, poly windows, windshield, carbon fendor.

Oh yea and lose some of your own body weight.
