You are right of course, but unless its a Neon, most cars nowadays arent under 3000lbs. I think with all the stuff in it, a 335 weighing 3300-3400lbs is pretty good. The fact the 135 being only 80lbs lighter is the real joke.

It is a joke because it's not true.

I think you will find the weight to be 200 less than the 335i when BMW correct its 1 series brochure online.

ALL US Specs per BMW NA webpage:
135i Manual
Listed: 3732 lbs (should be 3372 lbs. Someone did a typo here)
135i Auto
List: 3384 lbs
335i Coupe Manual
Listed: 3571 lbs
335i Coupe Auto
Listed: 3582 lbs
Based on the correct auto figure, 135i is just shy of 200lbs lighter than the 335i Coupe Auto.
Now if you buy a Euro Spec car then the difference is only 44kg but since I live state side I use US figures.
