Sorry but the weight delta between the last generation and the G8x is min 185kg and NOT 80kg. I would really have preferred that you would be right.
You will find at the end of the article all the associated web links.

Below is a snapshot of the display on the BimmerPost web link with the weight of F80MT (I have highlighted en blue the EU weight of F80MT on the left column. The right column is for F82)



Here is now the snapshot of the display on the BMW Luxembourg site link showing the EU weight of the G80MT (highlighted also in blue)

As posted above, DIN/EU standards have changed over time, so it is not an apples-to-apples comparison. If you keep on cross checking the wrong information, you will keep getting the same wrong conclusion .

Look at that M4 DIN weight of 1,497kg in your screenshot. I challenge you to find an F82 M4 at that weight anywhere in the world

I tend to prefer using actual weighing from reliable publications in combination with the option listed for the specific vehicle to do comparisons. Auto Motor und Sport is one of the more reliable EU publications regarding weights, and their "light" specced 6MT F82 M4 weighed ~82kg less than the G82 M4 showcased in the Performance and weight video. IMO, this is a better direct comparison.
