Seeing as these two cars are similar in size, capacity, and performance (0-60 mph in 4.2 s), it is nice to see that the electric option weighs about the same as an ICE car of similar specs.
The Leaf, of course, is a very budget car that can hardly be compared to the BMW 3 series.
While EVs are just as bad as ICE cars on the tyre microplastics front, they are at least slightly better in terms of brake dust thanks to regenerative braking.
The BMW M340i xDrive weighs about 1818 kg.
