It's really quite close to a full tank... (difference between claimed difference vs. E92 M3 and actual difference).
It is also a bit of a pattern from BMW ///Marketing which really irks many of us. All the BS about the E92 M3 being "lighter". The BS about the M4 being a revolution in composites. The BS about how its CF driveshaft is new technology (perhaps it was for some Nissan sedans in the 90s...). Their radical change of focus insisting that high revving, NA with razor sharp throttle response is the heart and soul of an M car now to jumping on the bandwagon about torque, torque, torque. Their insistence that a 50-50 weight distribution is somehow chassis "magic". Others can surely add to this quick list right off the top of my head...
