I thought the V8 weighed less than the N54 (whatever that engine is)? Even so, the E46 weighed 3400+ so I don't think we'll see it.

"weighing a mere 202 kg or 445 lb, is a genuine lightweight, saving some 15 kg or 33 lb versus the six-cylinder power unit in the previous model"

so the new V8 actually weighs less than the S54.
