Going from a stock Z4M seat to a fixed cabon or FRP backed bucket seat will save much more than 10lbs, in most cases you'd gain that alone in the mounting brackets. I'll likely tackle this in the future in an effort to save some weight as well, but can tell you that in our 996tt which also "Felt" light during removal, we where able to save a net savings of over 70lbs by switching to Status Ring seats with appropriate hardware, I'm willing to bet the Z4M will present a similar savings. Anything lighter than factory is an improvement in my books.
