The new BMW G87 M2 has finally arrived, and it promises to be a fantastic car with its powerful 458-horsepower S58 engine and massive 285mm rear tires. However, car enthusiasts are worried about its weight. In comparison to the previous generation M2 and M4 Coupe, the weight difference was minimal with the M4 Competition weighing 3565 pounds with a manual transmission and the M2 weighing 3450 pounds. The M4 had optional carbon-ceramic brakes that saved around 40 pounds, lighter optional CS-spec wheels, a lightweight driveshaft, and a standard carbon-fiber reinforced plastic roof, which the M2 Competition never received.

In comparison to the current G82 M4, the G87 M2 has a leveled playing field, as the G87 experiences almost none of the downsides that its predecessor did, and the M4 loses some of its tricks like the driveshaft. The G82 M4 weighs 3830 pounds with a manual transmission and can increase with bigger wheels, but it can save 30 pounds with optional carbon-ceramic brakes and another 21 pounds with optional carbon bucket seats.

The G87 M2 weighs 3814 pounds with a manual transmission, 16 pounds less than the G82 M4. A carbon roof is not standard on the M2 and can save around 13 pounds, and the same carbon chairs are available to save 24 pounds. Carbon ceramic brakes have not been confirmed as an option for the M2, but if they are available, it will save a significant amount of weight compared to the standard brakes. If the M2 has carbon ceramic brakes and the same 19 and 20-inch mix wheels as the M4, the G87 M2 could weigh as little as 3740 pounds in optimal weight-saving spec.
