What is your reference? I agree BMW.com lists the M2 as 1570kg with manual tranny (to compare apples to apples). But most sources list the 1M as 1495kg and I can't find a current official BMW source for the 1M to refute that.

From the M2 info @ BMW.com (Unladen weight (EU) in kg: the figure quoted includes a 90 per cent tank filling, 68 kg for the driver and 7 kg for luggage. Unladen weight applies to vehicles with standard equipment. Optional equipment may increase this figure.) So 1570 - 75 = 1495kg They are identical according to BMW (in Europe). |

Everyone I have seen quotes 1495kg for the 1M and 1570kg for the M2... hard to believe they have been quoting different standards all this time. |

So the takeaway here is that at 1495kg or 3289lbs. the M2 is by no means a "heavy" car. Contrary to what has become the widespread conventional wisdom including amongst almost every single "expert" reviewer and journalist. This makes it lighter than the E46 (according to data I've seen) and approximately 120lbs heavier than a 991.2 Carrera S with a manual. Not too shabby at all.
