The E46 M3&#8217;s curb weight is 3,415 lb, while the current E90 M3 and E92 M3 weigh 3,726 and 3,704 pounds, respectively. This would represent an approximate 300 pound weight reduction; great news for BMW enthusiasts who bemoan the increasing weight of cars in general. The caveat to keep in mind however, is that curb weight is calculated based on the total weight of a vehicle with standard equipment, and with the ever growing list of standard equipment and technology in late model cars, don&#8217;t be surprised or disappointed if you don&#8217;t see exactly 300 pounds shaved. What&#8217;s important is that the E46 M3 weight is being used as a target, which in any scenario, should result in<span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">\u00a0signif<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">icant\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">weight reduction for the new M3 and M4<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\" alt=\"Name:  M4BPgrey.jpgViews: 19153Size:  221.0 KB\" src=\"http:\/\/f80.bimmerpost.com\/forums\/attachment.php?attachmentid=854131&amp;d=1367341776\" width=\"630\" height=\"473\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">With the latest F82 M4 prototype sighting (gallery below), we have seen the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Double slatted kidney grilles<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 M4 badge on kidney grilles (a la M6) (currently covered)<br \/>\n\u2022 LED headlights<br \/>\n\u2022 LED tail lights<br \/>\n\u2022 Carbon ceramic brakes (optional) being tested in signature gold color (just as on F80 M3 prototype)<br \/>\n\u2022 Hood power dome\/bulge<br \/>\n\u2022 Sculpted double-bubble carbon fiber roof (like M6 Coupe)<br \/>\n\u2022 Production side mirrors (still under camouflage)<br \/>\n\u2022 Integrated trunk spoiler<br \/>\n\u2022 Wide fenders<br \/>\n\u2022 Slanted exhaust tips<br \/>\n\u2022 Production sideskirts<br \/>\n\u2022 Wearing Continental ContiSportContact tires &#8211; 275\/35 rear (like F80 M3)<\/p>\n<p>[info <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bimmerpost.com\/m4\/\" target=\"_blank\">SOURCE<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Name:  F82-M4-city1.jpgViews: 20369Size:  219.1 KB\" src=\"http:\/\/f80.bimmerpost.com\/forums\/attachment.php?attachmentid=854127&amp;d=1367341776\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though the M4 got bigger, it is going to be significantly lighter.
