This doesn't really sway me but that is just stupid heavy. STUPID.

So weight must come primarily from the motor. Wheels/tires are not really any different than M40i. Brakes are a little bigger so call it 50 lbs there maybe. Seats won't be any different in weight. M-diff another 50 lbs maybe.
Bracing/suspension may weigh more but still we're talking around 150-200 lbs in unaccounted for weight that must sit in the engine bay. Or maybe they put sand bags in the back to keep it 50/50.

New M3/4 will be about 3900 lbs at this rate.
