I never said it doesn't. Show me the increased weight versus weight savings of any said part and how it would measurably transfer to the 1M. MT and every other rag does not have positive things to say about every car BMW makes. Do them pointing out issues on their long-term test drives sell mags too?

Point out exactly how much weight BMW ditching the quads would save and how it would effect the handling. We dont know if this S55motor will weigh more than the N55motor or specifically what they're adding to the front. Adding quads could add needed weight to the rear to achieve whatever weight distribution they want. We really don't know. It's easy for us all to sit back and play arm-chair BMW engineer.

Losing weight for the sake of losing it is ridic. It depends where it was needed to be lost in the first place.
