You are correct that the F30 is a bit lighter than the E90, but I would hardly call those savings considerable.

F30 328i w/ 6MT is the same weight as the E90 it replaces.
F30 335i w/ 6MT is 55lbs. lighter
F30 328i w/ 8AT is 11 lbs. lighter
F30 335i w/ 8AT is 66 lbs. lighter

The biggest weight savings yield an improvement of 1.8%. Kudos to BMW for moving in the right direction in that department, but again, that's hardly considerable.
