pretty close to your estimate...using a 77 lb loss which accompanied the 135/1M change.
I don't think you will see a 200 lb weight loss...that would mean a significantly higher price.

Slightly skewed figures there, as you're picking and choosing the figures that support your overall position that the 235 is a pig - the 1M figure is the claimed weight from BMW. The 3505 235 weight is a manual transmission with standard US equipment - aka, we get more here in the US even if we don't want it.
The weight of the 235 with a sunroof delete and similar options would be a better comparison - hint, it's closer to your 1M's weight than you might be able to handle.
See here - there are 1Ms running around the EU that are in the 3552 range (is it just me, or does that number sounds familiar?):
