It would be one thing if BMW wasn't spouting carbon core marketing BS and said it would be the heaviest coupe that they ever made lol . I wasn't expecting a miracle but given it is smaller in every dimension to the 6 it replaces ,I did expect it to actually lose weight . At this price point it needed to be special not just look special. Some of us like to turn too ...

The Mercedes S Class Coupe (non-AMG) is 4700 lb
So in the grand scheme of things, at 4400-4500 lb, it's actually a lightweight among its competitors.

If Polestar One

I'm beginning to understand now why BMW chose to call it 8 series..they couldn't keep the weight down. BMW could have utilized its carbon fiber factory to do something a bit more special, but they didn't.
M cars tend to weigh more, so how much M8 is going to weigh?
