favorite brand in eastern europe, because it tackles rain and snow during a heist.

By the way, the 75 kg guideline for EU is based on the average male driver weight. Multiply by .9 for female driver weight (no sexism intended, it's all for scientific purposes). The skinniest adult female (75 times .9 times .6 = ~40 kg) professional driver would get the best results out of any car.
The 2018 M5 officially weighs 1855 kg, so 1855+40=1895 kg, ala the lightest Euro-spec M5

'"The 2018 M5 officially weighs 1855 kg" according to whom? '
