i'm guessing something like 100 - 150 lbs lighter.
they aren't going to be able to work a miracle here and keep this thing reasonably cheap.
that is why i kind of wanted them to go with the S20 or S48.
the 1M didnt have a CF roof, but lets say this one does (or at the very least doesn't have a moonroof, which on the m235i amazingly is an option... moonroof delete).
given the car will have a LSD which actually adds weight, i'd figure, if they make the roof CF AND it doesnt have a moonroof , then that comparison would look pretty good. Lets say they give it an aluminum hood (i'm always amazed they already don't do this, there are economy cars with aluminum hoods.... my 2005 G35 had one too) , and front quarter panels and CF prop shaft
the track will be wider and maybe that adds a little weight too.
so given some parts actually weigh mmore, i think i'd be happy if the car had a gross weight of 3400lbs (the 8AT m235i is 3535lbs gross weight according to bmw)
