Curb Weight

Superfly_M3 · 11-27-2012, 01:19 AM

This is probably too general of a forum to ask this question, but it get a lot of exposure.

I weighted my car today, and it came in at 3720lbs.
This is an E90 loaded with option incl sunroof and comp package and fully fueled

I'd like to hear from others about the weight of their cars.
Thanks.

thats about right mine scaled at 3660 with less fuel and i have every option except dct.

radiantm3 · 11-27-2012, 01:49 AM

Mine weighed in at 3600lbs with a full tank of gas. Fully loaded coupe, 6MT. I also have various mods that both add and remove weight so it's probably not a good sample.

That's lighter than I thought. I recently saw a post here that said the car was 4200+lbs! lol

^ the car was only that weight if you managed to get one of the M3 CRT Lightweight Sedans with 450hp @ 3,483lbs.

Obioban · 11-27-2012, 12:32 PM

"curb weight" is not what you get when you put the car on the scale. The curb weight BMW (and other German car companies) list is the car + fluids + driver + small suitcase.

... so what you're measuring is not curb weight.

Superfly_M3 · 11-27-2012, 12:49 PM

don't get technical on us. Lets call it the "weight of the car without driver fueled"

So, were you sitting in your car while it was weighted?

He said without driver.

bbs_lm · 11-27-2012, 01:33 PM

I'm wondering how much does a 6mt coupe with cf roof without Idrive and EDC weigh...I bet it is the lightest "normal" M3 u can get from the factory...

PhillyNate · 11-29-2012, 08:35 AM

Curious to see a little to no option coupe weight. Manual transmission of course.

2540! THAT'S what I'm talking about. Must be a serious blast to drive.

My E21 tips in at 2,400. But it's a '79, and the BHP on the M20 motor was about 140 new, so . . . .

M3PO · 04-19-2013, 03:51 PM

I'm hoping to get my E30 with S50 down into the 2600 range. Need to get the S50 in there first though!

m3peat · 04-19-2013, 04:49 PM

Weighed my DCT E92 w/o sunroof and Nav and probably 1 gallon under half a tank at 3545. I have comp pkg, comfort access and premium sound.
I expected a little more, maybe 3600 and with a full tank it probably would've been there.
