Weight difference between Euro vs US 330i G20

I noticed the US 330i G20 weighs a whooping 300lbs more than the Eurospec (3580 vs 3250 curb weight). Does anyone happen to know what factors account for such a discrepancy in weight? Can anything be done to drop the weight without sacrificing practicality?

I would expect EU version is heavier, because of OPF. I have 1585kg(3495kbs), non-xdrive, electric seats, sunroof, HiFi audio, so it is closer to your numbers....

they're all the same weight, just different ways of expressing. eg with fluids, fuel, driver vs without

also the specs. if your model has every single option, sunroof, spare wheel and 20" wheels it will weigh more than no options and 18" wheels

the best is Audi RS6 has a 300kg (700lbs) discrepancy in spec weight depending on where you look

when they weighed it, the heaviest number was still lower than actual weight!
