I've checked through the press releases for the M4, M440i, M240i weights to see what the likely weight is of the M2 in 6MT and 8AT guises, analysis below:

M240i xdrive is 1690kg

Adding xdrive to the M440i and M4 is 45kg and 50kg - I'm guessing the difference is due to rounding as they only go in 5kg increments.

Changing from M440i to M4 for rwd and xdrive is 30kg and 35kg, again I'm guessing the difference is for the same rounding reason.

M4 8at to 6mt is -25kg.

So starting from the M240i xdrive weight of 1690kg, we should lose about 50kg for a RWD M2, gain about 35kg for the 'M' weight gain (extra coolers, bigger brakes etc) and if going with a 6MT lose another 25kg.

G87 M2 6MT - 1650kg
G87 M2 8AT - 1675kg

From the same international press releases:
M4 6MT - 1700kg
M4 8AT rwd - 1725kg
M4 8AT xdrive - 1775kg

F87 M2 6MT - 1495kg
F87 M2 Comp 6MT - 1550kg
F87 M2 CS 6MT - 1550kg

F87 M2 7DCT - 1520kg
F87 M2 Comp 7DCT - 1575kg
F87 M2 CS 7DCT - 1575kg

So from an F87 Comp to G87 you're going to gain about 100kg, or 220lbs for the same configuration
