However the M550i shows as a full 100kg heavier on the USA website than on the German website. The 530i is similar. Maybe with the G30 generation they have started weighing the cars differently between the countries? So 1800kg is correct in Europe and 4200lbs is correct in the USA?

M550i
USA: 4372lbs, 1984kg
DE: 4155lbs, 1885kg

M6 Coupe
USA: 4250lbs, 1928kg
DE: 4243lbs, 1925kg

M6 Vert:
USA: 4515lbs, 2048kg
DE: 4529lbs, 2055kg

G30 530i
USA: 3746lbs, 1700kg
DE: 3559lbs, 1615kg
Different base specs maybe like sun roof springs to mind on some of the slightly larger differences?

Maybe differing government safety standards cause other changes to the cars?
