Not a mistake, but a marketing opportunity by BMW to state a weight under 1500kg.
As we all know, you need both fuel and fluids as well as a driver, so in the real world no F82 was ever that light on the showroom.

As far as I know, the new DIN weights also are without driver.
Are you sure that the old DIN weights were without fluid?
My understanding is that the revision to the DIN weights is mainly about how the cars are configured for the official weighing.
