Please forgive me... I've been on this forum for like 20 minutes and here I am complaining already.
Where are my manners? I'll just cross my fingers and hope for a 3000 lb, 300 hp coupe.

It seems that normally there's roughly 200lbs difference between a 1 and a 3 with the same engine in Europe. There is the issue with standard euipment and also the body style change from a 5 door to a coupe, but I would be surprised if the difference becomes greater than 300lbs.
The 335i is basically a 3600lbs car. My guess on 135i, if it gets produced, would be then between 3300 to 3400lbs.
Remember, modern cars are heavy. The STI and Evo, two cars that are as stripped down as they come for 4 doors, weigh around 3300lbs as well.
