Not saying weight is everything, and if the G87 is like the G82, then it will still handle very well, but it seems like they created a problem by making the car heavy and their solution was to make it even heavier with reinforcements vs making the car lighter to avoid all this

BMW is not the only manufacturer making heavy cars. Here are some examples (yes, the RS3 is lighter but its also a tad smaller and less power):
RS3 is 3,649
RS5 is 3,990
C63 is 4,600
C63 AMG is 3,902
