Yeah it will weigh a little more but wouldn't it also be more rigid and hence provide better performance with the top up compared to a soft top??
I think the move is smart on BMW's part. Gives the buyers more choice.

Now BMW can satisfy those that are all about performance (coupe), those that want a droptop but they don't want too much added weight (softop), and those that just want the car for the droptop and not so much about the performance (hardtop).
