Gutting Doors

[DJM]

On my track-only E46 M3 coupe, I have already gutted interior and the next project is the doors. Planning to remove door cards, window regulators and glass. Leaving crash bar as not full cage (yet). My question is about removing wires and electronic door lock modules (if there are any). I already removed the wireless module from the C pillar, so the key fob buttons do nothing. If I lock the driver door with the key, the passenger door locks electronically. If no window glass, I don't have to worry about locking and unlocking. What is the max electronics including wires I can remove from doors. I have not decided yet about the side view mirror question.

You can remove the entire harness in the door if you're willing to lose electronic mirror adjustments.
