If the rumored HP only comes in at 430, I'd hope they can make the M2 weigh 3600 lb max.
Xdrive added 110lbs to the M3, so they would need to lose another 167lbs.
An M5 CS weighs only like 230 lbs more.

There are zero reasons why the M2 won't be hundreds of pounds lighter... drop sound deading, add the regular carbon fiber bits, more lightweight rims, seats, carbons ceramics, drop the awd.
I won't be shocked if the new M2 weighs the same or less than the last generation.
No reason to freak out about the weight/driving dynamics as this is not an M2...
however what this is a killer base |
The one reason I can think of is that the G80 and G20 are very similar in weight. Hopefully that doesn't carry over to the new M2.
