Can anyone else confirm the 70kg, I understand Audi and BMW use different weight measuring methods, but is the difference definitely 70kg?
Euro Spec RS4 with full tank (no driver or luggage) was weighed in a New Zealand test at 1727kg...

From www.rri.se (curb weights):

07 M3 Coupe - 1611kg
08 M3 Sedan - 1664kg
06 RS4 - 1736kg
07 RS4 - 1728kg

So the RS4 is conservatively ~110kg heavier than the M3 Coupe in reality...
