I confirm, these are the true weights for Europe.
Official empty weight at 3.386lbs!!
Sorry if I repost my first post..But I am totally sure about these numbers.
I have the prove of what I write..

Hi, after taking a close look to my Italian official brochure of the new M3,and after I sew many discussions about the true empty weight I would like to share with you in this my first post, what I know.. I have seen many posts talking about a true weight of more than 3500 lbs, but to me this doesn't seem true. Probably this was already discussed, but in any case I tell you what I read in my brochure.These are official numbers .
so...new M3:
empty weight
1655 kg EU 3.645 lbs
inclused:
68 kg for pilot 149,7 lbs
7 kg for baggage 15,4 lbs
90% of fuel 93,6 lbs
final empty weight:
1.537,4kg
3.386 lbs
Interesting is that using the same system you can compare the e46 weights:
empty weight :
1.570 kg
3.458 lbs
final weight after detractions:
1.452,4 kg
3.199 lbs
Final difference between the two cars according to these numbers:
84,6 kg
186 lbs.
This is the weight of one person but with 77 hp more.
Are all of us able to feel a so big difference in performance when we run alone or with one our friend on board on our sport car?
So, this is the true difference between the two cars. One person (his weight)..but with much more hp available.
bye
