If you care about facts, then the 2-series is heavy for its size. It's still a great car, but it's heavy for its size.

OK, so how about this consideration. An E46 M3 6MT, which many say is the greatest BMW coupe ever, weighed in at 3,420lbs per BMW all the way back in 2001. The M235 6MT is basically the same size in every dimension plus it's sporting the extra weight of a turbo and ancillary parts, a far stiffer body, and a bit more tech, yet weighs 3,490lbs per BMW. So the 2016 M235 weigh around 2% more than the 2001 M3. Not exactly a huge difference in weight over 15 years considering all the improvements, a turbo, and FAR MORE safety and survivability.
Would you say the E46 M3 was a heavy car?
