The N52B30 is an extremely light engine at 354 lbs, because of the materials its made from you can't supercharge it like you can the 3.0i engine; in turn the 3.0i M54B30 engine weighs about 375 lbs.
For comparison the S54 weighs about 478 lbs. Add in the weight of the hydraulic vs electric steering and that should account for most of the weight.
