The 530e additional batteries and powertrain makes it weigh 230kg/500lbs more than the 530i.
Potentially you could make the battery a bit smaller but I think it would still be quite a bit of extra weight. The only way to get around this would be to change to a 4 cylinder engine for the M3/M4 or down to a 6 cylinder from a V8 in the M5/M8. |
?? But the I6 is 50% longer longer than the v8.. if it was a v6 then maybe but no one wants a v6 lol
