Nice, so less than estimates.
If you get a chance through the M2C on a Dynojet. |

So 110lbs heavier. Considering about 45+lbs of it is from the new wheels and larger brakes, it's not bad. Thanks for sharing!

I was about to say the brakes have to be a major contributor. I'm okay with that.

Closed deck block Additional heat exchangers and switch to air-to-water Big brake kit All very useful upgrades. The fact it came in 35lbs under bmw estimates, is great. |

Don't forget the exhaust. That definitively looks heavier than then the M2's.

I don't have the big brakes (-/-16kg), but we(in Europe) do have the OPF(those two lumps of ceramic weigh 15kgs each I've heard)
OP thank you. Cheers Robin |

This is awesome news, better than expected to me. Wheel swap will be an easy way to help lower the weight. Thanks a lot for this info. OP

So without the new brakes a 34kg gain. I think I’ve done poos that weight more than that.
We can now resume sky is falling commentary on weight gain. |

Now we need a European car on the scales and we know the difference. Interestingly, we can shave a bunch of this down again if we throw money at it.
Still it is a shame we have to. I was thinking last night that if BMW ever does a CSL, it would potentially not be lighter than a OG M2. This leaves us with options to even make a better package than BMW's own "lightweight" model. MR |
