Well if that's really the power output of the S55, then I'm really happy because then there's even less reason to change from my current ride.

And considering they'll have to use most of the F30/F32 chassis (even if the code is now F80/F82), I don't expect more than 100lbs weight gains, if that, over the 335i. Considerably less weight can only be had if they go for a totally different construction, i.e. alu space frame (like Audi) or carbon fiber chassis like some supercars (McLaren, Lamborghini). Anything else - such as the E90 M3 CRT - will gain so little that it won't be noticeable. In particular if 90% of the owners will full-spec their cars, which is rather likely.
