10 pound weight savings off the 5000 pound curb weight!

????… Should be standard. It’s an M car after all. Should make sunroof an option (at no cost) if people want it.

Lmfaoo it will weigh more knowing BMW and the roof will save you only 7 and a half pounds 😂

Where do you get that figure? The i4 m50 weighs 5,000 lbs and it’s built on ICE architecture.

stoked335d · 01-28-2026, 12:36 PM

They are not going to put batteries on the roof 🤣. So relieved.

Precisely. Wouldve preferred if they offered a “heavier roof” option (sunroof/glass roof) with the lightweight one as standard.

Any weight reduction away from the center of gravity is a plus!

Will the ev architecture shave off 1000lbs? Don't think so, not sure how tesla got the model 3 under 4000lbs but it's a miracle.

ghaffari46 · 01-28-2026, 01:10 PM

It’s get a point for style though 🙂

My M3 · 01-28-2026, 02:34 PM

It will need it & more

bg_m2 · 01-28-2026, 04:36 PM

The whole car should be carbon!

This is when the lipstick on the proverbial pig expression is perfectly executed.

Tesla did it by cutting corners on just about every physical part they could.
