This is the first time I have seen someone weigh their s54 swapped e36. I'm going to weigh mine (has almost zero intentional weight reduction on it so far) on a friends corner balance scales soon and start a spreadsheet to track changes to the car and its weight. For batteries: I have had lifepo4 in a street car before and it can be a hassle to live with. Also your hold down hardware/bracket weight starts to become a significant percentage of your battery weight so consider looking at that too. If you go that route make sure you aren't pulling any current when the car is off or you have a battery cutoff switch that is easy enough to access that you will actually use it. It's very easy to kill one of these from over discharging and they have comparatively very low capacities. Also I haven't looked into brands in a while but shop around and try to find some dissembled images of different batteries. The braille batteries I have seen internals of were really bad + expensive. I haven't seen anyone tear down an antigravity battery but I'm sure someone has. Realistically these battery companies are buying cells or pouches from the same factories as everyone else and assembling them and marking them up different amounts. I had an alien motion and was happy with the cost and construction quality. If you can find a large enough cylindrical cell based battery I think those are a better route than prismatic pouches but they are less common now.
I can tell that if you keep going the way you are, you will grow a lot! great content!
Thanks a lot man! 🙏🙏
What?? I thought you hat at least 100k subs. Great quality video!
Thats insane i get comments like this. Been grinding to get to 1,000😂
I love your videos man! Such clean cars keep up the amazing work
Thanks man
My e36 328is 2dr w S54swap, weighed at 2750 with a heavy battery in trunk.

Big selling factor of the Antigravity for me is my friend has been running one with zero issues for like 3 years now.
How about removing some of the glass for weight reduction? You could go to plexiglass
I eventually want to do that, keep the front doors glass. Rears plexi
Why are the 6 cylinders always so much heavier, this is still heavier than a stock 4 cyl zero option sedan (with dual zone AC/Heat/Radio)
Think you are referring to the e36 compacts. Regardless 2600s with 320whp is pretty potent
I didn't think it was that easy to use the scales at truck stops. Do they charge?
Yup, drive on, press the button. They will ask what your truck number is, make one up. Go to the front desk and its like $13
GTR front splitter?
ACS style
Polycarbonate windows will get you an easy hundred pounds 🤙
Idk about 100, but probably 50ish for all the sides and rear glass. The windshield is staying glass
