Ah...I remember this now. I knew the difference of 5kg was too good to be true! Still, that means a difference of ~75kg between the new M3 and old RS4. Which isn't too much to be honest and that gap would decrease slightly if we were talking about the M3 Saloon/Sedan.

Can anyone else confirm the 70kg, I understand Audi and BMW use different weight measuring methods, but is the difference definitely 70kg?
