As has been stated above, BMW has said that a similarily equipped F8x M will weigh 80kg less than a comparable E9x M3. The E9x M3 has also been quoted as having a curb weight of 1580kg (3480lbs), which doesn't include the driver (1655-75=1580kg).

From this we can deduct that the lightest F8x will weigh 1500kg (or a bit less) WITHOUT driver, but WITH 90% fuel and all fluids.

So, yes the standard F8x ready to drive, but without driver, will most likely weigh around 1500kg or 3303lbs.

Add the driver and we are at 1575kg or 3469lbs.
For the US the E92 Curb weight including driver is 3704 lbs. Deduct 80kg and we have 3528 lbs.
