Stock wheels and seat weight?

Anyone here know what the stock weight of the wheels and front seats is on the new M5? I'm wondering how much weight can be trimmed off that car..

No idea on the seat weight. The stock M5 wheels are about 30lbs each.

Fronts are about 1 lb less. I'd figure 30 lbs for the rear, 29 lbs front and you'll be within a pound or so.
