2023 BMW M2 Weight Reduction with Battery & Bucket Seat!! - Project M2 TA

[@rdab700]

A vented carbon fiber hood should save another 20 lbs. And improve aerodynamics too if it's designed with that in mind.

[@JackieDing86]

It should be a good chunk more weight yes!

[@BlakesGarage]

Is the new M2 hood not aluminum like the F8x cars? Cus I’ve heard the carbon hood doesn’t save much weight at all over the factory F82 hood.

[@rdab700]

@@BlakesGarage A magnet will tell us for sure, but you are right, it's probably aluminum like the F8x and G8x.

@@BlakesGarage holy crap, it’s Blake…. Hey, do you still have that F82 M4?

[@BlakesGarage]

@@videogazer801 yep, I do.

[@DirtBikeSessions]

Enjoying the content...looking forward to the racing and the build!

[@CJAEY]

Really excited about this build

[@jurinout8665]

I think with a lighter exhaust, rear bumper & trunk lid this car will be already way better without even having a rear wing.

[@JackieDing86]

Exhaust happening for sure. Just haven't gotten to it!

[@nodrogkam]

Good luck out there! Thanks for taking it a bit slower on the mods.

[@viktorhaggstrom9036]

That is a incredibly heavy car for what it is, seems to be pretty important to shave some off

Awesome video Jackie and crew

Good to see Alan representing traditional Asian outdoor footwear of Crocs & socks

I was at Barber for Jzilla and Gridlife with you. Can’t wait to see the video

That one is in the pipeline!! Coming soon!

Need to see these wheels once it's lowered... can't decide between these or TS-5 for my BSM G87

[@davidog4]

love it

[@AdrianPortelli0fficial]

Are those seats uncomfortable or really uncomfortable for daily driving I’m serious with those seats please answer

[@bobstarr]

love the content.

[@user-zf9cy9ku7k]

Oh good!! Battery registration or coding when using that battery?

[@jesseperrella]

Not all Asian people can do math confirmed. Jk. Awesome video Jackie, super stoked to see the progress! Keep it up💪

[@Spooly_]

Curious how much a rear seat delete would save.

[@videogazer801]

I’ve seen 30 pounds in the older M2

[@BrendanEvan]

Filling the cab with helium should remove many pounds. Learned about this in a movie where they lifted a house with balloons 🎈

What's up Paul @ Verus

[@djsonicc]

It'll be interesting to see what the weight is after you remove the rear seat, spare tire/inflator

[@videogazer801]

This is good shit!

[@Ronin-lh7fe]

Great Video. Thanks! But what is the exact wheight of the oem seat? Why you didn't wheigh only the seat?!

[@snidewhips]

sprint is a better seat dog, more adjustable and less shoulder bow

How do you bypass airbag in M2

[@happylight830]

What is weight of BMW seat?

[@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

Are you going to run nankans? I'm currently running 3r at gta events and Falken rt660 at everything else 200tw required. Thinking about switching to nankangs full time. Easier setup. I have to take compression out on falkens vs 3r.

[@JackieDing86]

That's on the to-do list!

[@Pcar_dad6733]

Any coding needed for the Battery?

[@cliu25]

yo, where can i get that long sleeve

[@S58AJ]

what did you use to code battery?

[@Mr16bit]

Can you take out the passenger front seat?

[@JackieDing86]

Yes, soon!

[@1993ka24det]

The BMW M2 weighs over 2 times my cars weight with me in it

[@sepg5084]

The BMW M2 is an actual road car, complete with contemporary road car features. Upholstery, air conditioning, entertainment systems, weatherproofing, sound deadening, etc. are not weightless.

[@rdab700]

First. Because if you ain't first, you're last!

[@MrDrivingFaster]

Did the new battery (being a Li ion )require a reset ?

[@JackieDing86]

Likely should, but we have not performed the battery coding yet.

[@BlakesGarage]

That’s actually super weird my F82 came with a factory Li Ion battery from the factory and it cost $1600 from BMW. Weird the M2 doesn’t have the same thing stock.

[@pavlost1108]

@@BlakesGaragea 1600dollar battery in what world.

[@BlakesGarage]

@@pavlost1108 unfortunately our world. Look it up F8x BMW m3/M4 battery 🔋 that’s without labor if you had the dealership do it.

[@MrGuyOhh]

How come you guys didn’t get the cf bucket seats from bmw?

[@JackieDing86]

Because the carbon buckets from BMW cost a lot of money that we could better spend elsewhere!

[@iisreallughtkingsun4360]

Brother. I don't think you should of taken parts from the SUPRA. Because it's a LEGEND . And it's the car which brings you this New legendary status. It should be LEFT as it is. And your BMW sponsor get all the necessary parts needed to make there CAR a mam.

[@JackieDing86]

It all got put back into the Supra so don’t worry :D

How come you didn't remove the passenger seat?

We wanted to do things in stages! Passenger seat & other interior pieces are coming down the line!

Enough with the hate already! Everybody knows some people have different opinion on new bmws. It's becoming annoying, like a Karen that never stops crying.

I find it great, muscular looking. I’m sure most people will learn to appreciate it with time.
