If they can reduce more weight and keep it at the same price they would have done it already. Reducing weight means more exotic materials on the car means a higher cost on the car.

To further reduced weight by 70kg is totally unrealistic and even then it won't be 'miles' ahead of the 140i. 70kg is just the weight of a small adult and won't affect much in a straight line acceleration.
