I think the entire lineup of 3 series from both the G and the F are too heavy, I wasn't comparing them directly.
Regardless, I'm not 100% sure you are right that the G are generally lighter though:
F30 340i: 1605 Kg *
G20 M340i: 1758 kg **
F80 M4: DIN/EU - 1497/1572kg ***
G80 M4: DIN/EU - 1700/1775kg ***

Well both of those comparisons are kinda comparing apples to oranges because both the G cars are AWD. Sad that that is how you have to take them though. This is also why I feel the real drivers car to get will be the G series M2. Smaller, lighter, same basic engine as the G80, RWD and a real manual!! If it feels as good as the G20 does, it will be a real winner. Going to be a hard decision between that and the Cayman GTS.
