Well, it doesn't matter..^^ all BMW cars are weighed that way. The point was (is) that the M3 weighs about 400lbs more than the 1M (if the 3300lbs is true).
At the predrive event we were told curb weight under 1500 kilos. One for the questions asked was what the design cycle time for the 1m is. As I recall it was said to be 12-18 months vs 24 months as a normal time frame. The typical 24 month period is a part of why M cars come out more than a year after the base cars that they are designed upon.

All I know is that I sure hope car and drivers review is correct in many ways.
