Finally, all has been revealed. This makes more sense now. It was simply not possible that it was gaining 400lb apples to apples

DIN weights have been available for some time, so we have all the deltas between G80 vs G82, 6MT vs 8AT
We also know the weight delta of CF seats vs regular seats: 10kg, 22lb

Per the video, in LB
F82 DCT full tank: 3615
G82 6MT full tank + CF seats: 3689
G82 6MT full tank + regular seats: 3712
G82 ZCP + CF seats: 3745
G82 ZCP + regular seats: 3767

The most apples to apples comparison is the F82 DCT vs the G82 ZCP with regular seats. 152lb weight gain. This isn't good, but it's half of what I expected.

If you consider that now you can oem source the nice CF seats


I have an F80 CS which I've weighed with a full tank at 3657lb
G80 6MT full tank + CF seats: 3701
G80 6MT full tank + regular seats: 3723
G80 ZCP + CF seats: 3756
G80 ZCP + regular seats: 3778

So, apples to apples, F80 CS to G80 ZCP= 121 with regular seats and 99 with CF seats


Some more data, power/weight
My F80 CS DCT: 8.06lb/hp
G80 6MT regular seats: 7.87lb/hp
G80 ZCP regular seats: 7.51lb/hp


edit: data updated as my F80 CS full tank was 3657. The 3610 number was normalized to half a tank of gas, which isn't what we're comparing against here
