Note: These are EU weights and are different from how NA models are measured. I'm ignoring the total weight and just focusing on the delta between the two. - M240i sDrive Weight: 1,710 kg
- M240i xDrive Weight: 1,765 kg
- Difference: 55 kg / 121.25 lbs
The M240i xDrive on the BMW USA website shows the curb weight as 3,871 lbs. Theoretically when the M240i RWD is available on BMW USA website it should weight in roughly 3,750 lbs. 
What does that mean for the M2? It'll weight less without the AWD system and since the sunroof is not standard it'll shed a few pounds there as well, but it will gain weight in other areas such as twin turbos, exhaust for both turbos, additional cooling, chassis bracing, etc. So it very well might regain all the weight that was lost. Either way it's going to be a porker.  |
Jeeeeesus that's so much weight wtf BMW… |
I don't get how this will weigh as much as the g80 M3 which is much bigger and has 4 doors… crazy
