Wow that is "spin" if I have ever heard it. Technically it is incorrect. Perhaps you might argue that the implicit copmparison is the unrealized design of the new M3 that was not carefully weight managed. However, the way I read it is that the implicit comparison is the previous model M3. The new car weighs more than the last, period. Of course I do agree that the efforts in weight savings have been extreme, like hollow cams and hollow axles, forged aluminum suspension components and wheels, CF roof, etc.
However, I still thin the correct statement would be "we've spent a lot of money offsetting the weight gain with weight savings in many areas."

Sure you're right, but I think we all know what he meant.
