So far, I think the only CF bit that is pretty much confirmed is the crankshaft. If we get a CF roof that will help a bit, but I'd expect the M2 to weight more then M235i tbh
I'm expecting to see CFRP panels that will reduce weight to 228 levels but with slightly more than M235 power. That's the perfect car.

We should also see more attention to weight saving up front so the car has a perfect 50/50 balance instead of being front-heavy like the M235. All of that combined would make it a much better car.
