dang.. i got a porker of a car...
 

almost a full tank.. babyseat in the back, 3 bottles of water, wife's white coat on a hanger, med gear bag in the trunk, 7 quarters in the coin holder, icepod in the console bin...

must be the ipod that makes it so heavy, huh?

is that some sort of electronic scale?

yeppers... intercomp is leader and one of the best in the racing industry...

Front heavy...

Adam,

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

Juan

What's so heavy in the front right?

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...

Juan, yep, its a 4.4.

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....

"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.
