That's my 2 cents...

Yeah, there's no chance of that happening.
BMWs are getting bigger, heavier, and more technologically dependent.
The F8X actually lost weight over the E9x. I'm predicting the G8x will be even heavier that the E9x.
The G-series M2 will unfortunately continue with that theme.
BMW already had their chance with the current M2CS. |
Agreed.
I believe G8X will be heavier too, just because of the increasing dimensions.
Having said that, BMW might try to lighten the chassis, which they could not do with the M2CS, and so when they strengthen it, they counter-acted the lightening measures. No chance of changing to a lighter chassis... which they might be able to do on the next one.
My fingers are crossed for a lighter, more powerful G80. But I'm not holding my breath on the weight issue.
Plus I'm disappointed with the ever increasing dimensions!
