That's my 2 cents...

Yeah, there's no chance of that happening.
BMWs are getting bigger, heavier, and more technologically dependent.
The F8X actually lost weight over the E9x. I'm predicting the G8x will be even heavier that the E9x.
The G-series M2 will unfortunately continue with that theme.
BMW already had their chance with the current M2CS. |
Agreed.
I believe G8X will be heavier too, just because of the increasing dimensions.
Having said that, BMW might try to lighten the chassis, which they could not do with the M2CS, and so when they strengthen it, they counter-acted the lightening measures. No chance of changing to a lighter chassis... which they might be able to do on the next one.
My fingers are crossed for a lighter, more powerful G80. But I'm not holding my breath on the weight issue.
Plus I'm disappointed with the ever increasing dimensions! |
I'm always wondering that people expect new car generations to become lighter, these times are gone long time ago.
We won't see any new cars that will be lighter than the previous generation (except for supercars, but even they get heavier), just because of all the tech / luxury people expect to have and all the safety things that have to go into them, this is why the cars are getting bigger and bigger, not because the manufacturer wants to give you more space (which also almost never happens, even if cars get bigger), but because they have to incorporate all the tech & safety features....this costs space and weight...
