Potentially. Sunroof delete saves around 40lbs. Other things to always consider between cars is options. Nav, audio, manual seats, elec seats w/ or w/o heating etc. All will slightly change a vehicles weight.

you guys do know who scottn2retro is and what he has built in the past? He had a 1series race car early in the platform days and if I had to guess (and hope) is getting ready to build another. Most of the items we are talking about wont even be a factor in another on of his builds.
I think his question was more geared toward oem parts that would stay on a race build. |

Other items worth swapping beyond weight savings if building a track car:
1M Bodywork - increase track width allowing more tire and wider fronts. PPK Radiator Fan PPK Aux Radiator BMW 1M rear subframe, Diff, Hubs and front knuckles. This opens up options for larger aftermarket m3 brakes, M3 suspension, m3 coilovers and LSD Options. Most aftermarket brake companies only make as large as a 355mm front rotor for 135i where they make 380mm kits for m3/1m. M3/1M also have a myriad of coilover kits not available on standard e82. You can swap in solid subframe and diff bushings before the m3 subframe goes in too. Depending on the level of build, you can either use M3 control arms with aftermarket bushings or bimmerworld or similar heim jointed rear arms. 1M/M3 Steering rack: If you have an active steering e82 you can not only bolt in the m3 rack but you can code in the m3 servotronic settings. Sunroof Delete - run a factory slick top and support bar or a Revozport carbon roof. Slicktop saves around 40lbs off the tallest part of the car. |

If I picked up the car used, is there an easy way to know if I have a 135i with active steering?

That way we can complety rule that out and we can focus on whether they weight the same? There is a lot if misinformation out there. |

I had a ride in an 1M (100% oem suspension wise besides an clutch type diff) and the biggest difference i felt was the steering was so much better (my car has active Steering). Would love to code that options in! |

I've noticed on the 135i there is a metal panel (bolted) behind the rear door card panels in the rear arch.
On the 1M this space is empty.. although gives more road noise due to less insulation. Saves alittle more weight pic taken from this 1addicts thread Does anyone do any 1M front wings in full carbon? even with split fins for airflow could be cool for track (like the E46 M3 GTR & 991 GT3RS)

Easiest way to tell would be the power steering pump reservoir. If it has the same one as the 1m you should have active steering. If it looks like other e82 or e9x then you don't.

For e82 if you don't have active steering, you can still bolt an m3 rack in, which will give you a shorter rack . If you have e82 w/ active steering, you can bolt an m3 rack in and code it for full function which makes it exactly the same as the M3/1M. My v8 e82 has it fully functional and my second e82 build is going to have it as well. |

So for changing the steering i Need to buy an 1M/M3 Steering rack and code something? Do you know what Needs to be coded and how? If this is so easy, it will be the top of my priority list thatīs for sure! |

1M/M3 steering rack without active steering is a direct swap, no coding neccesary if you don't need servotronic to work.
Steering will be heavier, but nice feeling. |
