My take: I was expecting, with so little fuel, a lighter vehicle. From a driving perspective, it drives light and agile and amazing. As a "magazine racer", I'm dissapointed it's not ~50 pounds lighter than this.

Nonetheless, compared to EAS' F80 m3 weigh-in I can say that this vehicle weighs ~110 pounds less than a DCT, 19", carbon ceramic brake, exec pack, lighting pack, drivers assist pack, full leather model.

That's a decent chunk of weight considering the DCT vs manual was weighed to be closer to a ~40-50 pound difference, CCBs should be lighter or at least cancel out the 19" wheel weight difference....leaving I guess 60-70 pound weight gain for exec pack, lighting pack, drivers assist pack, and full leather.

I think we're narrowing down more on how much various options actually impact weight.
