As I posted before, my information about the weight of the F8x says:
  • F80M3 - EU-Empty = 1.483kg = 3.269lbs
  • F82M4 - EU-Empty = 1.495kg = 3.296lbs

This weight reduction is reached by:
  1. making all doors/folds out of aluminum instead of steel ( like F30 )
  2. making internal supporting structure out of industrial carbon composite instead steels ( like F30 )
  3. making some/many suspension components out of industrial carbon composite istead aluminium ( like F30 ) - (link) saving overall 35kg /77lbs. only in this part

The new engine would be al little bit heavier than the S65 V8 ... also according to my informations!
