I know it is marketing but things like this piss me off. At least they are being mostly honest and transparent with this 80 kg clue...

The "marketing" has been stripped away for you by BMW when they said a comparably equipped car. It is irrelevant if it includes carbon brakes or not because the delta will still be the same as long as they're comparably equipped.
The new car is only 80kg lighter whether one gets a stripper or a fully loaded car.
On the bright side, the new car is more powerful, bigger, and "better" than the car it replaces and still manages to be lighter. I doubt that there are very many current models that are lighter than the models they replaced especially if they grew in size and power.
