Savagegeese puts an m2c with a dct on the scales (3642 lbs) in his review. I think bmw is pretty accurate, but as a general rule, manufacturers are not always super truthful when it comes to vehicle weight. Any time you find anyone putting their car on an actual scale it’s nice.

Just done some more research , found this , again not sure if true ! Some say the weight of the M2 CS was 1532kg with CCB , it doesnt make sense the M2Comp to be exactly the same weight , not even a KG more or less , i guess we have to wait to see from someone in here ! Also on the OG found somewhere 1495kg for MT . So weird why BMW does this , its so simple !

1570 kg - M2 MT
1595 kg - M2 DCT

1625 kg - M2 Competition MT
1650 kg - M2 Competition DCT

1625 kg - M2CS MT (without CCB)
1650 kg - M2CS DCT (without CCB)

It’s possible the 1495kg number was dry weight, so the car minus gas, oil, coolant, washer fluid etc.

I'm seeing the CS listed between 1532kg and 1588kg depending on spec. Admittedly I don't follow all of the different methods for determining weight. I think it was supposed to be 55lbs or 25kg lighter than the C.

Every cars weight depend on the configuration of each one , but there are not many things you can configure on a CS for example . especially for weight the only that makes difference is the CCB . They should have give us the weight of a M2CS with MT and DCT as well . Its so simple . And it you opt CCB just minus the difference which i think is -25kg.

Are those cars considered to be heavy? Made a quick seatch before , find out the Merc A45 S which has 2.0L 4Cyl , is heavier than the M2s . Also the RS3 . I know the M2s weight are so close to the M3/4 but the size isnt that much bigger , its the wheelbase that tricks :

It's kinda porky when one compares it to a purpose built sports car. However, it's a coupe that has four legit seats. Safety features have added a few pounds over the years. It would be great to come in around 3100-3200 with the tire size on it, but that's going to be no fun as a DD

The merc and the Audi are all wheel drive though. That said, the m2 imho is “a little on the heavy side”

It’s not too bad but I bet your average mid-sized sedan weighs less.

Yeah , forgot about the awd . It could be less but still not bad at all . An E46 M3 weights 1570kg and that was before 20 years , you can understand that technology , safety etc adds some weight to the cars.

Issue is that BMW provide both DIN and EU weight but for whatever reason people like to mix them, hence the confusion. All your figures but the 1495 kg are EU weigth .
DIN weight = EU weight - 75 kgs, hence OG MT DIN weigth = 1570 - 75 = 1495 kg.

As for the exact same weight of the M2C & M2CS I guess it comes from authorized rounding rules but in any case real weight of EU base car should be very close. In real life though most EU M2C have heavy options like the big brakes, electric seats , HK,... so you can still expect that a typical M2CS will be lighter than a typical M2C.

2018 BMW M2  [10.00]
Car and Driver actually weighed their 2016 6MT M2 @ 3,415 lbs, even though BMW lists the weight to be 3,450 lbs. The DCT adds 55 lbs, so...

https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...l-test-review/



However, Motor Trend said their car, which was lighter than BMW said it would be, also said...

"...and our M2 was a pre-production car that lacked some weight-adding features that will come standard on production-spec M2s, namely power seats, automatic climate control, and an upgraded Harman Kardon stereo with satellite radio. We expect the U.S. car to be at least 75 pounds heavier."

They list the weight as 3,411.

So that's a good indication that the C&D car was also the same pre-production car, and that the cars are in fact 3,450 MT/3,505 DCT.

718 GT4 which is only a dedicated sports car 2 seater platform weighs 3199 (1451 kg) . Not much is light anymore!

So after all in comparison the M2s weight in general isnt all that bad if you consider that is a 4 seater etc.

It's impossible to tell how much the M2 actually weighs because it all depends on spec. In General

OG M2 > M2 CS > M2C

This was discussed before in the forum but the M2C adds close to 150 lbs due to the S55, Exhaust, "Racing" seats, Big Brakes etc. M2 CS sheds some of that weight due to it's carbon fiber parts etc.

It futher varies based on location/spec. I know in europe you could get a OG M2 with manual seats(-A lot of Weight), without Harmon Kardon (-Weight) and a ski boot (+weight) that is closer to that 3400lbs. US cars usually have more weight due to them coming with all the options.

BMW does send "Euro" spec cars to Motortend/Car&Driver/R&T for weighing, that is common practice in the car journalism world. So most reported numbers are unrealistic.

I think in the USA it only ended up being like 119 pounds more than an OG m2 as weighed by an owner who had both and owned a scale. OPF probably adds more in Europe.
