I thought 3300 was a plausible stretch goal. I would consider at 3400. What will it really be? Probably closer to 3500 which will make it a head scratcher vs a slam dunk.
Oh definitely, but you and I are coming from E9x M3's, which are even heavier. So a regular 2er is already a decent "upgrade" over an E9x when it comes to weight alone.

As for 3300, I don't think it'll happen. I think we'll be lucky to get 3400 IMO. Not sure where they'd cut the weight from the regular 2er. Even if we were lucky and got CF+Aluminum parts, those upgrades along with lighter wheels and suspension from the M3/4 is not going to equal 200 lbs IMHO.

But like I said, 3400 lbs sounds fine to me. That's still a 250-300 lbs lighter car than my E92, and it feels like the size of an E46 M3. Sign me up! (as long as they don't make base price stupid like $55k+ or something).
