How much weight can you remove from your car? Well in today’s video we take weight reduction to the next level and find out!
I show you how much the seats weigh, how much the stuff in the trunk weighs, how much the carpets and sound deadening weigh, how much the plastic interior pieces weigh, how much the sunroof weighs, and finally how much the dash weighs.

Here is the UPDATE on the Lemons BMW : https://youtu.be/IbPhor1mnCA
it is ilegal to drive like this on EU?
when u drop a perc between the seats
plexiglass windows might be your next move here. This was fun to watch , BMW are porky i would like to put mine on a diet.
So a little more than 10% faster acceleration is exactly what you would expect when losing a little more than 10% of the weight. a = F/m so if you lose 10% m (mass) you gain 10% a (acceleration)
ty Chrisfix for making these videos im going to be a mechanic when i grow up tysm for making these videos ❤❤
23:45 how do you not take out those speakers mounted in the floor. They're right there!
And a little advice from a fellow endurance racer: be nicer to your tranny and clutch. You're much more likely to see the checkers.

“There is no need for this”
MAYBE DONT SIT IN THE CAR TO SAVE WEIGHT
Take poop before drive
Power windows door panel 100 lbs easy❤
I have a question for you, Chris why is two of the backseats connected while one of them is not connected to the other two
now replace the weight with a roll cage haha
Next time jut pick it up and weight yourself with and without it.
Man you don't need those front quarter panels
21:34 "and then we can carefully remove the air bag" proceeds to destroy everything else
people say bmws arent reliable and this bmw is a legend😂
That's crazy u removed dam near the whole interior and it still weighs more than my golf with everything on it stock😂
Removing all the sound deadening will upset your neighbors.
8 seconds lmao what a waste of time and energy
The e46 is the ultimate car.
great vid, awesome editing
"acuretly weighs" brick for ballance under the tire doesent seem right
ur a **** if you think gps is accurate
I have a question for you and I hope you can answer it… Why are you destroying the original car components and where are you going with them
too heavy rims, replace them with smaller and lighter, and your tires dont have enough grip which also decreased acceleration. also the handler could be replaced by a smaller lighter one.
All the weight for a one second difference almost doesn’t seem worth it lol
wtf?? you like door panels?
what, no double clutching?
Bro my anxiety goes so high up when he removed everything
This is the first time in awhile a YouTube video was able to fully capture my attention for the entirety of the video
There are some things in the engine bay that can also be removed or swapped for lighter parts. Brackets, tow/engine hoist hook, headlight washers, rain cowel covers etc.
the good is so nice when following along
i was actually waiting for you to remove the doors, the trunk, the hood, all the glass, side mirrors, head lights, tail lights, bumpers, reduce fuel to minimum, then that would have made a lot of difference, specially the handling of the car around corners. The best thing in your video was the 0 – 60 times, and the braking disctances. Good job.
Chris fix helped me re build my engine
The engine is pretty heavy 😏
Why not replace glass side windows with plastic ones ?
nice!!!
poop
You should’ve removed the front and back bumper
NOS NOS NOS NOS NOS NOS NOS NOS !!!!!!
nice power shifting hhha
Tip : Remove the engine to make the car even lighter
Tip : remove the door and weld in a sheet of aluminum at their place to remove roughly 200 kgs
And think of the gas mileage increase….
Yo bro where's your car?
Him: oh it's to reduce weight
Why is he shifting so aggressively
Dormir the dors
This is my dream car that I’ll never have
