Bottom line is that it is possible in a stripped m4 to be 3300-3350 lbs.
Us curb weight includes driver / luggage plus any extra options that are estimated to be sold in over 33% of cars.
It's the same for the e92. The din weihjt was 3486 and the us curb was 3704. Numjerous examples exist of e92 being weighed by magazines at 3525-3550 lbs with some options. Same story here. Us curb weight is just as innacurate.
All outlined well by boss330 in the f80 section.

Haha you're acting like I want the car to be heavier. I don't. I'm tempering my expectations.
I was just sharing the figures provided by the BMW website. And how can you definitively say that it will be possible for a U.S. specification, stripper M3 to weigh "X" when nobody has independently weighed one yet?
I have not once spoken in absolutes.
What I'm concerned about is the car's real,
wet weight.
Also, I never said it would be impossible for an F80 to weigh in at something like 3,350 lbs. I have merely speculated regarding how much reasonably optioned, fueled-up F80s will weigh in the USA.
And I still stand by my predictions. What is a stripper F80 M3 anyway now that it comes standard with navigation, etc.?
