Does anyone know how much the Speed Six engine weighs...?
I just wondered, since BMW claims that their new 3,0l is the lightest six pot engine in the world. I find that a bit odd, because TVR's AJP8 weighs 121 kgs, and judged by all my logics the Speed Six should be lighter than that...

No, engine weight is generally more related to the length of the crank, not the number of cylinders. Also, if you've ever seen both an AJP and a Speed Six engine next to one another out of the car, the AJP is tiny by comparison.
