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!).
The F82 MT was listed at 3625 lbs at bmwusa.com before it was removed. So that’s a 215 lbs difference to the G82 MT. Spend $3k on the bucket seats and you are below 200 lbs difference and at less weight gain than all generational shifts prior except to F8X.
