Was yours a MT?
The OG M2 DCT was 3516lbs.

I didn't see if the car in the video has 2NH brakes...that's an option, not standard, right? |

Extra turbo, water to air intercooler, 7(?) heat exchangers, HUGE brakes, full dual exhaust, the rear ballsack, bigger and heavier seats, etc. It all adds up, but the weight difference is offset by the extra POWAAAA. Realistically though, some lighter wheels and an aftermarket exhaust on the Comp, and the weight savings from the OG will be minimal. |

US cars all have 2NH brakes.

Adding unsprung weight via heavier wheels is a big fail. I get that the power to weight ratios are similar, but the thing weighs as much as a 6th gen Camaro. I've said it before; if I wanted a heavy touring car I'd get an M4. Didn't mean to derail the thread, but it looks like OP got his answer |

Emissions are adding a TON of weight to new vehicles, and it'll only get worse. Crash safety standards are demanding safer and safer cars, which in turn adds more weight, and as consumers, we aren't really willing to sacrifice on any niceties to drop said weight. Everyone already complains that the M2 has a subpar interior, but imagine the extra weight if it were all leather and plush materials and alcantara with extra sound deadening and what not. |

Some food for thought - my 987.2 boxster, which was my last track car, weighed in at 2980 lbs before I pulled anything out (I have a pic of the corner weights somewhere). The cayman, I believe, is similar. So sub-3200lb cars aren't as unattainable as you might think. The GT86 weighs about 2800lbs. You wanna talk about a sparse interior, haha! I test drove a newer one, though, and it was much nicer inside. |

This is a Car and Driver M2/M2C weight difference breakdown which is kind of more theoretical.
https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1566186 This is a guy that weighed his own M2 and M2C configured the same way which is information that's straight from the horses mouth. The M2C weighs about 110 lbs. more. The 788M wheels on the M2C weigh about 17 lbs. more than the 437M wheels on the M2. That brings the weight difference down to around 93 lbs. If all the extra cooling mods etc are taken into consideration, I think it was 93 lbs. well spent. https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1529257 |

I see you have a e93 M3 w/Competition package. The BMW 359M wheels (yes they are a 1/2" wider) are a lot heavier than the non comp package 220M wheels.

Figure roughly 12 gallons for near empty vs full tanks, and at ~6.1 lbs/gallon that's about 70lbs. Hence without measuring car weight without the tank full, the error can range from small up to ~70lbs.

Unless I missed it in the video they did not state whether gas was topped off, I assumed it wasn’t full. |

I was referring to the referenced thread above where two identical stock configuration M2s were weighed each with a full tank and on the same scale; both generated expected values and the expected real difference in weight. If we subtract the full fuel load of 16 gallons that gives about 98lbs off 3455lbs for the OG M2 6MT slicktop or 3357lbs. Comparing that weight to anything other than the same fuel load in an M2C isn't valid. The M2C with same fuel load would be 3467lbs.
