It is already known it will be 3,500+ lbs.
The US curb weight listed on bmwusa was always 3,706lbs. Subtract the 80kg, new M4 will come in at ~3,530lbs (US curb weight). The 3,300lbs was a marketing exercise (dry weight).

Further weight loss is expected in the C63 by way of the switch from an enormous 6.2L NA motor to a smaller, 4.0L biturbo V8.

Yup the chassis and body weight savings will translate right over. Who knows maybe they will employ some additional weight savings as well on the AMG.
