E9x m3s have been weighed anywhere from 3520-3700+ lbs. Same story with this car.
So sure a loaded up version will be 3500+, but less equipped models, specifically with 6mt and CF roof will be closer to 3350-3400.
We will see who is right when they weigh the cars.

I am fully aware what US curb weight consist of.
Most have figured out the 1500kg for the M4 was din weight. Fuel, but no driver and cargo.
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.
