Weight savings of 40+ lbs for your E9x

HP Autosport · 03-20-2008, 11:38 PM

Okay! We got 20 people so far, a few may drop out, but we just need a few more people to show some serious interest and we will put this into production.

HP, do you know if this battery (21lbs) will be up to powering an e92 M3?

It is enough to power our E90 335i, so I don't see why it couldn't handle the electrical needs of the E92 M3. We will still need to see if the E92 M3 use the same battery mounts and do a trail fit.

You should have any.

up to 40 lbs weight savings, shouldn't matter how the vehicle is used.

Andrew@ET · 04-05-2008, 08:55 PM

yea im just trying to justify the 260 price tag for 40 pounds.. in terms of weight would it be like adding an intake 2-5 hp.

ae8t6ix · 04-06-2008, 02:01 AM

+1 I'm in for the 21lbs with mounting kit. I've used the 15lbs odyssey battery on my track car and the difference is substantial. Everyone's looking for additional hp gains in a N/A car the key though is power to weight ratio, plus you figure you lose the run flats go with regular tyres and you'll shave additional unsprung weight this is a no brainer. Keep us posted.

Sorry but I don't see a price on the main page. How much are we talking for one of these batteries?
