Who can answer?
Oh BTW I got very interested the other day in the weights area and decided to get my car on the scale:
It would seem that the weight of 1665 kg which BMW released in the brochures is slightly overstated.
My car weighs 1740 kg incl. driver (95kg) fully tanked no baggage & with a LOT of extras on board for eg. Leather inter. & what a lot donīt understand sun roof + DCT.
take off 25 kg from driver
20kg dct transmission
ca.40kg sunroof
ca35kg leather

thatīs 120kg less (264 lbs) !!
1740-120 = 1620 kg !!! thatīs 45 kg less than advertised. and as I said a lot more on the inside...
so if this new guy weighs 1490 kg as BMW says how much does it really weigh ??
