I think BMW did acceptable but not outstanding job keeping weight of 2-series under control: M235i weights exactly the same as 135i Coupe in basic specifications despite being a bit larger and despite complying with more strict safety requirements.
They gain alot of weight from the E82 to the F22 it is not what I find acceptable for the price they are asking. VW did cut around 100lbs from the MK6 GTI to the MK7 GTI and they did it on a car costing half of the M235i this is something I find acceptable.
