The weight loss comes courtesy of a lightened new frame. BMW engineers also took the opportunity at revising the chassis’ geometry via small tweaks, having targeted it all for greater handling and feedback. Also a notable change on the exterior is the signature asymmetrical headlamps that have been swapped around, making this ‘new’ version easily distinguishable.
