1989 300e vs 300ce curb weight

MB lists a 1989 300e with a curb weight 45 pounds less than a 300ce.

The 300ce has a 3 inch shorter wheel base.... any idea where its weight comes from?

More underbody structure in the coupe because it doesn't have a B-pillar. Check out the weight of a 124 convertible!

Besides underbody strenghtening, are the pillars and the roof also stronger in the coupe?

Just recall that the C pillar is seamless joining the quarter panel, and looks kind of neat, whereas in the sedan the pieces are 'detached'.
