I discussed the weight issue with the BMW M guy (who by the way is a member of Bimmerpost.com, but requested that I not give his username. Out of courtesy, I will keep it to myself). We both agreed.

What Jeremy is saying is true, about weight being more for frame and crash. Yes, you could start doing the CF for items, and weight saving batteries, and all of that. But let me tell you, doing a "tiny" bit of thrashing on the M3 Coupe, you know what, the extra weight doesn't mean a thing.

If you drive a E92 M3 and you complain that it is not fast enough, then you truly TRULY fall into the category of "Spoiled Rotten Never-Earned-Anything-In-Your-Life Brat" and you truly are wasting the oxygen out of the atmosphere we breathe. If you can't live with 4.1 seconds and you just desperately need to move from $75K price to $300K+ price to have a car that will do 3.6, you are a greedy little POS!

The weight is insignificant. If anything, it makes for a smoother highway ride, more stability in unstable conditions (rain, following 18-wheelers, etc). The M3 has plenty power to handle the weight.
