If the weight difference in the engines was 50-60kg as you claim that would make the B48, which is a 2.0 engine, 10-20kg lighter than your mainstream 1.0L or 1.2L engine in use today. I'm sorry, but that's simply impossible.
I can see you really want to believe this, but keep an open mind. One engine weighing almost half of the other just doesn't make sense, not when both are inline and made out of the same material. If the terms of comparison were inline vs V and aluminum vs cast iron then that would definitely be possible, but it's not the case.

I don't believe it, I know it
AMS has weighed both with adaptive suspension, sport brakes, wide alloys and LSD, 59 kg difference.
Just put 59kg of concrete or 59 1 litre milk bottles under the hood, part of it before the front axle, and try it.
I would order small alloys and no sportbrakes -> more than 80 kg and as I mentioned, part of it unsprung mass (count it with factor 7).
