Guys-there is damn good reason why the M3 is heavy. Anybody here get under the car and check out the rear subframe area???

The above link shows you how BMW have strengthened the rear sub frame to avoid the E46 M3 fiasco thats plaguing every owner. The M3 is the tits and rightly so you drive the nuts of the car and..that puts a LOT of stress on the suspension components. With the E9X M3-BMW a lot more attention to the under body of the car hence the added weight due to strength.
