That is only 300lbs (135kg) ligter. That is massively disappointing for a carbon fiber car. I was hoping, no, expecting at least 400lbs. And if BMW adds a 4 banger model for the 7er, then that 300lbs looks even worse.

These electronics have to be lightened too. It doesn't matter if BMW lightens the chassis by 500lbs if they then add in 455lbs of electronic bs that no one ever uses.
