For the E46 M3 CSL, I believe BMW lost 185kg, which is 407 lbs. I'm sure someone can verify this number - but what I'm getting at is that it's very easy for BMW to drop 200-300 lbs for a limited edition racer...

Ask yourself this question - would you buy the supersports if it came without a radio, A/C and rear seats? I personally wouldn't, because I need at least the A/C and rear seats...
can anybody chime in on that? that would provide significant insight to any weight saving speculation
edit: although we would be further speculating into a car design based on numbers from a car that didnt ever make it to US anyway

speaking of not going to make it here, 123d supersport > *
