I removed this all once again and weighed the items this time. Details in the original post.

Total weight saved= 17.685Kg

Kitchen ones for the lighter items and bathroom for the seat backs/base...:whistle:

Very scientific! :hahaha:

I was amazed by the noise of stones hitting the rear arches when I did that, I had a standard exhaust though, you may not be able to hear that over the SS noise solutions

I was as well mate - it's like always driving with track warmed cups on and hearing all the stones being picked up. I don't hear it so much when I press the loud pedal! :hahaha:

It was pretty straightforward taking around 45 minutes and only needed a couple of tools

5 min max without the bolster removal thanks to the instructions :thumbs:

I imagine a tad longer to get back in :whistle:

found enough money for a pint tonight under the seats :beer:

Yep longer to put back in and harder on the back :bigcry:

What you doing wrong? I find it just as quick :whistle:

I put the seat belts up side down and had to start again :whistle:

dont take the p - - s easily done, I would have thought they would of mounted facing up but its down and then loop up into the seat position

and they are harder to manoeuvre in, for me anyway :whistle:

back to quieter road driving :smt055 although great for track days :supz:

Hi all,

I'm desperatly trying to find the BMW part number for this torx bolt in the picture below.

I've looked on the parts system and it only lists a hex bolt, which I ordered but was wrong.

Can anyone help wih this?
