after digesting the materials, I have a framework for you mod fanatics:
1) unsprung and ineria weight - ie, lighter wheels + tyres, brakes
2) weight around front / rear / top of the car - ie, cf hoods/trunk, battery
3) lighter seats, exhaust, etc

doesnt really make sense to catergories by bhp rather than weight.

EBC recommends 545i use the yellowstuff, so mikehk, if you wanna upgrade urs, get the yellowstuff 
So it can be summaries as follow:
greenstuff < 200bhp
redstuff >200bhp
yellowstuff >300bhp

greenstuff < 200bhp
