Ok. The complex weight discussion again...
Let's say it like this:
An F8x manual with CCBs compared with a comparably equipped E9x M3 was lighter (some kilos) not breathtaking, but if you take into account the much stiffer chassis and slightly grown dimensions, it for sure was an achievement.
F8x Competition models with DCT as measured from german sport auto magazin had roughly the same weight as the E92 DCT ZCP.
Now regarding the CLAR platform:
The new F90 M5 has profitted very much from the switch from old 5 series (F10) to new CLAR G30 platform! F10 was a heavy pig.
So it is remarkable, that F90 M5 with AWD is even some kilos lighter than F10M5 RWD!
For G80 there is - unfortunately - no such hope.
1st: The F30 and therefore also the F8x hadn't this severe weight problem of the F10! So they were - also compared to the competition - quite light!
2nd: The G20 already reveals this! Although switching to the CLAR platform it isn't any lighter than F30 ... rather the opposite!
So - imho - a G8x RWD will have roughly the same weight than a F8x ... and the G8x AWD will be around 50 kilos heavier...
Lets see, how it turns out.
