It's fine to add weight where it improves performance, but the rest needs to be lean

Mine too and they do help balance the weight on the right side of the car as I am significantly heavier than her.

Aluminium doors (not on the F8x list above)
Lightweight crankshaft (lighter than S55)
I clearly stated that the list I enumerated was about weight saving elements from F32 to F82.

While it is true that the G8X also has aluminum fenders and hood, and, if I am not mistaken, so does the base G2X, so these are no longer weight reduction elements over the base series. Same for some of the suspension components that are also made of aluminum on the base G2X.

And I didn't claim otherwise, just stating facts about the G8x... 😉

The Taycan does drive very 911-like having driven every iteration out so far. Plus, on track, like at VIR, the Taycan Turbo S, even at 5700 lbs spanks many more sporty, lighter cars, like the m5c/m8c, e63s, R8 V10, and many more.

Hi everyone!
did anyone have a chance to put a new m3/m4 on scales to see the real numbers of weight and weight distribution?

I thought some forummers here weighed a G8X but there are no news in this forum?

Has SYT_Shadow managed to put his newly bought scales to good use?

Trying to read through all the true weighed M3 post's though I'm not sure what a Standard M3 Comp X drive with standard brakes, standard seats and sunroof weighs? Assuming 4000 lb?

Would love to get mine weighed soon.

If OP measured 3767lbs with standard seats, steel brakes and auto, mine should be around 3650 lbs. I have CC brakes, CF buckets and full titanium exhaust. I can certainly feel that it's lighter after the exhaust swap.

If you’re local to Huntington Beach CA, I’ll be happy to put it on the scales.

For an additional data point here...

6mt, buckets, catless DP + full titanium exhaust. Weighed in at 3702lbs with a half tank of gas. I don't think you'll get below 3700 with an automatic. But let me know if you end up weighing. Auto adds 50lbs and CCB's save about 36 or 40lbs if I'm not mistaken.
