Adam,

Do you have the 4.4? Heck, even the 3.0 weighs 4700 lbs. Your car is actually quite trim!

Juan

no car is evenly balanced... you got different equipment mounted in different places all over the car...each having a different weight and different CG...

bmw engineers do their best to bring the weight in balance as they can... but it will never be perfect....

"Porker", lol!

I've come to the conclusion that No vehicle on the planet weighs what the mfg'er says it does. The worst offender are the scoot mfg'ers.

I had the Vette weighed for fun: it was 160 lbs more than Chebby says. They must weigh the sumbitch w/no gas, no oil, no coolant, no p/s fluid, no brake fluid, etc.

NEway, quite a scale there, Adam.
