It's in the press kit specs and on the BMW international website, Bimmerpost just didn't post them yet.

EU Weights in - kg's (inc 75kg Driver/Luggage, 90% Tank)

220i: 1585
228i: 1610
M235i: 1675
220d: 1610

Compared to:

E88 120i: 1505 (-80 kg)
E88 125i: 1585 (~25 kg)
E88 135i: 1665 (-10 kg)

F22 220i: 1425 (-160 kg)
F22 228i: 1460 (-150 kg)
F22 M235i: 1530 (-145kg)
F22 220d: 1450 (-160 kg)

So yes... it's a bit of a porker.. But still nothing like the 253kg penalty for buying an M4 'vert over the M4 Coupe! and still a good 140-150 kg lighter than an F33.
I thought bmw's n1 strategy was for lighter cars...
