Pretty monstruous increase, My own F80 CS with a full tank and without me in it weighed 3640 or so, so right there with the euro weight spec

This is by far the biggest issue in the new M3/M4

EURO TO EURO WEIGHTS
1595 3515 manual f80
1635 3604 auto f80
1660 3659 auto f80 CS
1780 3923 manual g80
1805 3978 auto g80

kg lb
manual to manual 185 408
auto to auto 170 375
CS auto to auto 145 320
US WEIGHTS
1742 3840 manual g80
1765 3890 auto g80

I got about the same in my CS with a 3/4 tank. Why they keep making this car bigger I have no clue. If you want a bigger car, get an M5 or an X3M. BMW couldn't just leave my beloved M3 alone. I really really hope they treat the M2 as the true spiritual M3 successor. Don't short change it like Porsche does the 718. 500hp 470ish torque M2 weighing no more than 3500lbs., decent styling, proper interior and seats with a pass through for harness... I'll take one, for the love of god, I'll take one.
