"unladen weight", which is what BMWUSA has always cited, I believe. The figure for the manual E46 M3 was 3,414 lb,, if I recall correctly. Can anyone explain this?
It's amazing such a simple concept as weight can be measured in so many different ways and result in so much confusion. If we were to simply stick to the European numbers BMW released for the E46 and E92 M3, what would be the difference? I tried the international BMW website for the E46 data, but the link to the E46 M3 is now gone--it was there a month ago. So, does someone have the official BMW EU weight for the E46 M3?
