Weights of various cars that I have had on my scales

Obioban · 11-15-2018, 06:12 AM

SMG/sunroof e46 M3. 3/8 of a tank of gas. Light weight wheels and intake.

^nearly stock (same mods as stig’s car— 18” RG-Rs, CSL intake, nothing else) fully optioned e46 M3, so pretty representative range of weights for stock e46 M3s between tbose two cars.

Obioban · 11-15-2018, 06:16 AM

A CRV. Awd, no sunroof, two kid seats, 3/8 tank of gas.

What is a fully optioned E90 M3 with DCT and sunroof?
3800lbs-plus?

Probably another ~100 lbs, so ~3740 lbs. Maybe getting closer to 3800 with 19s and iDrive.

I did most of the roof labor myself. The panel was $1200 IIRC, during a GB, and the install was ~$500 with me doing the work. Probably ~$3000 to pay someone to do the whole job.

Unless you're super hung up the look of the CF roof, I'd just seek out a non sunroof car-- the steel roof is only ~4 lbs heavier than the CF roof (and is 45 lbs lighter than the sunroof car).

I had no idea E90 M3 was such a porker.

I found it interesting most all the BMWs were lighter in the right rear than the left rear. I guess mufflers are heavier than batteries.

Scales aren’t leveled so corner weights aren’t necessarily accurate. Total weight is.

Nice

Xterra 4440 lbs.

helothere · 11-21-2018, 01:11 PM

is this with the driver in or without?

my S2000 with driver, full tank of gas weighed 2820 lbs
(full on track car)
my F80 with driver, 1/2 tank of gas weighed 3850 lbs
(apex wheels, moton coils otherwise stock ZCP)

Obioban · 11-21-2018, 07:40 PM

Without driver, as the goal is to compare car weights, not driver weights...

... but I'm only adding weights with scale pics.

She's the Khloe Kardashian of M3's. They probably give them out at NBA games.

Obioban · 04-22-2019, 08:33 AM

Full light spec (option wise) F80 M3 CS. Scale pic taken with a full tank of gas so listed weight corrected accordingly (all weights on the list are for a half tank).

shiv.nandak · 04-22-2019, 09:25 AM

That E36 M3 @ 2423lbs

Decent curb weight. Would have hoped for a better distro though.

52/48.

Annoyingly, that's pretty much the same as my e46 after taking 300 lbs out of it.

All the listed weights are adjusted to 1/2 tank of fuel.
