Can anyone tell me how much can be taken off a standard E30 2.5 flywheel to make it lightened.

It's been taken down to 5-6kg but only with the steel flywheels (M20B20 has the lightest flywheel btw).
If it's cast flywheel then you shouldn't lighten it because eventually it'll blow up.

I would recommend no lower than 6kg if it's a road car.
You could get it to 5.4kg absolute minimum but this runs the risk of possible fractures.
6kg is ideal, i've had mine taken to this, and it's been ideal.
