Not exactly 500lbs.
Let's use some owner weighed numbers to give reference to the weight gains (I did forum searches for each of these weights with 160lb driver and full gas)
E30 M3: 2950lbs
E36 M3: 3200lbs
E46 M3: 3450lbs
E92 M3: 3740lbs
F82 M3: 3750lbs
G82 M3: 4,102lbs (BMW Published numbers with Comp & RWD **Not AWD even...** + 160lb driver)
G82 M3 AWD: 4,302lbs (This is a guess, but no way AWD doesn't at least add 200lbs)
I feel like the weight gains (pre G8X) made sense given these are ///M models dating back almost 30 years. But to gain 450-500lbs with ONLY a RWD model (not AWD weight even, lord have mercy on us all lmao)

It’s interesting how rumors spread quickly and with each new post the G80 weight keeps going up ...
Guys, I get it, I am also upset about the gain in weight but let’s not over panic! The G80 M3 Curb weight with a 6 speed manual comes in at 3840 pounds including full tank of gas and all other fluids which is not that bad considering how big the new G80 is (This figure might also include a 165 pound driver as per EU, not entirely sure). An all wheel drive version will not add more than another 100 pounds which no one will even notice... What you will notice however is the steering feel which will most likely be terrible in an AWD G80, (that you can almost bet your ass on!).
