As a former M2 owner and current 1M owner, as you add power it becomes almost impossible to achieve weight balance. The S55 that went into the M2 Comp made the Comp heavier overall and the front of the car supporting the engine made the weight balance change on the car with the front weight increasing substantially.

The bigger more powerful engine that requires other features will always add weight. The constant increase in HP has made the cars heavier and affected the weight balance with so many components being added to the engine bay.
