Not sure where The Outrage got the figure for the M340i. I thought they had shaved some weight off the 3.
BMW touting the 120lbs or so that the 3er lost when they first released the car was all marketing BS. The platform or chassis may have lost weight, but in comparison to the F30, the G20 actually gained weight in every configuration possible. The 4-cylinder didn't gain too much, but the 6 gained as much as 150lbs. https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1599263
