Hello there, how much does the E60 Hood, Roof and Trunk Lid weigh? Who knows please? Are these components worth replacing with CF parts?

the hood is aluminum so you won't save much by replacing with cf.
not sure how much the parts weight exactly, though.

I already looked into this and I believe the hood weights 27 pounds stock and a cf hood weighed like 19. I would bet the other pieces weigh no more than a hood. So max weight savings you would see may be 25 pounds if that. Hardly worth the time or money for 2.5 equivelent horsepower increase. Take your spare tire and jack out for a 50 pounds savings and that is free
