Like I get it, spend a lot of money for the M4 over the M2, and you get stuff, but really, like the 2 series is suppose to be lighter, not just more compact. A 2.0T 230i is 3,500lbs. BMW needs to bring back the 1-series or a 0-series. Oh wait, I forgot. If someone wants a small, lightweight BMW then they just need to buy a Mini.
I just checked some cars(in sweden the specific weight of each individual car is in the Public database).

And depending on equipment the weight difference between the previous M2C and M4C is between 0 and 20kg, thats not great for a car that is much smaller, the supra around 100kg lighter than the M2C.

The new M4C is another 100-120kg heavier, hefty things..
