It is not going to be hard to order and equip the G87 to save a few critical lbs.

Weight savings:

Carbon Fiber Roof:

"Weighing around 11 lbs. less than a standard steel roof and approximately 44 lbs. less than a steel roof incorporating a moonroof. And lowering the car's center of gravity by 2+ inches."

6MT versus auto transmission:

"A 6MT represents an approximate 49 lb. weight savings over a DCT." I assume about the same for the ZF.

A lithium battery will save another 32+ lbs. over the heavy stock BMW battery.

Total: 96 lbs.
