3374 lbs in the lightest trim possible wouldn't be a bad figure, but--again--Albert Biermann, the HEAD of development for BMW M, is the guy throwing out the "less than 1500 kg" figure. If they don't intend on delivering a product that at least approaches this, they should expect people to be miffed.
