135 has aluminum subframes. muffler is much larger. Glad to be wrong in this case

Also 1M has metal roof as standard and not moonroof which is an additional saving as mentioned in the press release.
19" wheels are heavier than 18". Unless the 19s are forged, they might be lighter. I allready said the roof is lighter in the 1M.
