I for one am really glad that the car is this light. Even if you aren't a fan of it, it at least lets us know that BMW M has the car's weight as a target. So if you're waiting on the next M2 or whatever, stuff like this should give you hope. So I for one thank the OP for posting this.

It is surprising to some extent. It also explains why some reviewers say it feels lighter than the F8X while others say it feels heavy since it’s around 4K lbs. The weight difference is small enough that other aspects as chassis tuning and responsiveness play more of a role of the feel than the absolute weight. Some think they know it’s heavy and are biased to confirm a heavy feel while others are more open minded and don’t feel it’s heavier at all.
