Adam,

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

Juan

it's actually 51% front, 49% rear... unlike what bmw claims.. 49% front/51% rear...

makes ya say hmmmm.... could be a typo that got out and marketing never fixed it...

What's with the 1282 v 1186 in the front? I could see the the full tank of gas causing the weight to be off btwn left and righ in the back.

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....
