I think C&D weighed a Euro spec car. We know how much that weighs. The issue is more about the curb weight of a US spec car.

BMWUSA.com lists the manual coupe at 3,571 and sedan at 3,594.

335i weighes less than an M3 as per Euro specs. This means that in all probability the US Curb Weight published by BMWNA will be in excess of that 3571 number.

Thanks. So 3704lb for the coupe is the unladen weight. Wow, that's more than I thought!

I'm surprised also. I wonder if there is an error of some kind in the brochure.

yeah i'm gonna wait for the 3rd party tests on this one. i can't imagine how they managed to add that much weight with just bringing the car to the US.
