Had BMW made the 824m 18/19 standard on M2 like the M3/M4. That would have saved considerable amount of weight, 30-40lbs of unsprung weight.

Now the miniscule weight difference between a G82 is making sense. Standard 48lbs sunroof, cast wheels adding another 30-40lbs.
Are cast wheels really 7-10 lbs heavier per wheel compared to forged? Seems like a lot, but I'm not a wheel expert. If true, that's good news since I'd be running aftermarket anyway.
