Exactly. Giving a car quicker steering and less body roll masks the true weight. Also, I noticed all of my cars feel "lighter" when I switched to narrower winter tires, but it's just less steering resistance and the square setup that gives that feeling.

I am not sure it is easy at all to get in a modern car, without information ahead of time, and guess an accurate weight after even a track drive.

To be fair the M4 had the 666M which are like 27lb each

The 359M were F=26lbs and R=26.8lbs @ 19". The 666's are least 20" @ that weight.

hmm... maybe because M4 has CF roof, CF trunk, lightweight battery, aluminum hood and fenders, CF driveshaft. What does M2C have? None of the items I mentioned for the M4 but a big brake kit that weighs 35lbs more than the smaller brakes on the M4.
