Thanks for posting. This got me thinking so I checked; according to BMW the 30i weighs in at 3280 lbs and the M40i at 3443 lbs for a difference of 163 lbs. Since the M40i also has more standard equipment, the actual weight difference between an M sport 30i and an M40i with similar options will be a bit less than that......I'm going to guess 140 - 150lbs.

Hi there
Just checked and the base curb weights of the M40i vs the 30i are 1535kg Vs 1415kg respectively, so a difference of 120kg (265lbs)
