With that said, they all hide their heavy-weight very well

BMW actually has employed methods of weight reduction on the M3 and M4, and they did this with the E90 but not the 1M in the past.
( About the only one that they have in the M2 is not including sound deadening. ) some of these methods that are employed on the M3 and M4 are what OP is going to do.
By the way .. removing 50 pounds here and there.. certainly does help when doing so in multiple areas .. right? There really aren't any MAJOR areas to reduce weight aside from composite body panels, removing interior panels, speakers, sound systems, consoles etc..
you are correct about the M2/M3/M4 hiding their weight well.. The first thing that turned me off about the M2 is that it GAINED WEIGHT vs the 1M.
as it is.. The OP is already starting with the heavier DCT anyway.
