200lb weight difference is about right for the N63 (~500lb) vs the B58 (~300lb). The M550 also only comes only in Xdrive and more standard content so that’s where the rest of the weight is and roughly evenly distributed.

Comments about “on the limit handling” are a joke and entirely academic. If you’re driving a G30 on the limit you should be in jail because it will be on public roads because this isn’t a track car. The only place I’ve ever driven one of my cars on the limit is on the track, the only place it’s safe to do so.
