... the old S65 4.0ltr.V8 is indeed al little bit lighter than the new S55 3.0ltr.I6TT - 202kg vs. 205kg !!! 
Curious that BMW quotes an wrong weight for the S65 to bring the new engine below the weight of the old engine ... 202kg is for years now the official (BMW) weight of the S65 !?  |
Hey, it's just like all the other claims about weight, like the new car is 200lbs less than the prior one!

Well, you can forget all that. The new car is fitted with a turbocharged straight six. Turbocharging? In an M car? That’s like putting gravy on an ice cream. - Jeremy Clarkson, discussing the S65 and then S55 M3 engines.
