Now all the Euro BMW sites have the Comp and CS listed with same weight. Including Spain, who has their configurator up.
UK BMW site has same weights listed for Comp and CS as well. 1625kg/1650kg(Unladen EU includes 75kg for driver/luggage).

The reason I think this is happening is overseas the standard M2 Comp still has lighter 437M wheels, lighter standard M2 seats, lighter blue caliper brakes. Less standard equipment all together for Euro market. I have no doubts base cars do actually weigh the same in Europe/UK. US market will be a different story, since the Comp got most of the upgraded equipment standard.
Their M2 Comp was more heavily optioned. Similar spec to a US version, big brakes, M4 seats, heavy 788m wheels, etc. |
Not sure as the M2 Comp is 3,582 with manual. Not sure where all these stats are coming from? Im just so confused. You google these curb weights and it pops up immeditaly. We shall wait and see I guess. so BMW is lying?  |
It is simple, you are conflating two different types of weight figures. 3,582lbs is 1625kg. Both the Comp and CS are listed at 1625kg for EU curb weight. Like my post says earlier, EU curb weight includes 75 kg of ballast. You are quoting "DIN weight" 1550kg(3417lbs) for CS and "EU curb weight" 1625kg(3582lbs) for Comp.
Both manual CS/Comp are listed by BMW having same DIN and EU weights:
DIN - 1550 kg or 3417 lbs
EU - 1625 kg or 3582 lbs
75kg ballast accounted for in EU curb weight.
