BMW just conflicted that a little, with their recent press release about the DTM M4. They referred to the street M4 in it, saying the 1500kg was dry weight.

Fact is everyone will now be running around saying their M4 weighs 3,300lbs, due to how they marketed the car. When in fact most owners cars won't be near that. Also considering recently we learned DCT adds 89 lbs. Oh and I am willing to bet the 3,300lbs marketing included cermaic brakes, which are good for a solid 40lbs weight savings.
sounds like we pretty much agree. I could care less about the posers running around saying whatever about their cars. I barely ever meet anyone who has an m3, and regardless of what they say about their m3, if its dumb ill just enjoy the conversation and laugh it off.

IIRC the ceramic brakes only save 14 lbs btw, on account of the larger rotors and mainly larger calipers.

Im getting a low option 6mt m3 (leather, HK, adaptive) and expect it to be ~ 3400 lbs. hopefully I am not disappointed.
