First post: How about the dumb motorized foglights that are hanging out front there in the worst place for extra weight? Anybody remove those and/or figure out something better for that space like brake cooling or something? Coming from e36 m3's this was a popular thing to do.

Yes.
Wheel companies often weigh their wheels "bare" to show the lowest possible weight. I know the TPMS, hub-centering ring and center cap for each of my Forgestar Wheels weighed 0.175 lbs. combined. That's more than a 1/2 a pound for all 4 wheels (0.7 lbs to be exact). Every little bit counts. Look at all the guys that run titanium bolts on their 3-piece wheels.

Every little bit of weight counts a lot when it's spinning

All weights from an industrial scale that normally measures 4,000+ lb pallets but it is said to be accurate when weighing smaller objects.
18x9.5 ccw c10 wheel in clear anodized finish with new hankook evo 12 275's = 50 lbs.
18x9.5 CCW C10 rear wheel with clear anodized finish = 23 lbs
OEM 19 inch rear wheel with 255 tires approx 50% tread left Continental Conti Sport Contact 3 = 51 lbs. These tires are 24 lbs new, according to TireRack.com, so the oem rear 19's are 27+ lbs.
