I, for one, am really excited about the consistent talk of < 3600 lb curb weights for the M3. Car and Driver took it to the scales and weighed it at 3571 lbs, which I believe is with a full tank of gas. If that car had some options on it (not sure what it had other than I-drive, EDC, leather) that may be at least 40 lbs worth of extra weight, bringing the U.S. base car's curb weight in at 3530 or less.
Although not featherlight, it is not bad for the size, practicality, power, and luxury the car has to offer. For reference a GT3 weighs about 3240 lbs, so 300 lbs over that is not bad at all.
Now to find the extra 40 HP to make it have the same power to weight ratio at the GT3 . . .
