C/D: M5 and M6 are relatively heavy cars. What about the upcoming, more-compact models?

FN: The weight of the M5 and M6 is on a level with the competition. But it is safe to assume that a lightweight approach is at the core of our business, and there will be an unconventional mix of materials where you won’t necessarily expect it.

What i highlighted in red is what really caught my eye, i hate heavy cars as you can tell from my own lemma in my signature. I would rather take a 2800-3000 pound M car with 380hp than a 5000 pound 700 hp M Car. Good for you BMW , looks like they are taking a page from the toyobaru book, faster does not always mean more fun.
