speaking of not going to make it here, 123d supersport > *

The number I quoted (185kg) came from memory. Here is what I've found on the web:

http://www.supercarsite.net/bmw/e46-m3-csl/2003
http://www.exoticcarsite.com/pages/bmw_e46_m3_csl.htm

You get the idea...

They all list around 1385kg/3054lbs. The US Spec E46 m3 was listed at 3415 lbs if I'm not mistaken. So perhaps the drop was 360 lbs, not 407. Anyway, it was significant.
