As silly as it sounds, people really need to stop pointing out BMWUSA’s press specs on vehicle weight when it’s been proven incorrect time and time again.

IMO the press specs are useful and accurate for showing comparisons between BMW vehicles, (i.e. to dispel the notion that the f87 m2 was lighter than the f82 m4).
Comparing to other brand's cars or independent measurements, not so much.
