I added some audio stuff maybe about 15lb there, but PE probably shaved it off.

Bwahhhh?! O.O when I weighed my car on the scale, I was at ~3800 but then again I had a full tank, 2 12in subs and different wheels :/ (6mt mtech/msport) and of course my fat ass was on it too haha
Why the hell do we drive tanks -.- my buddy's 4dr e36 m has the same gross rating as our cars lol

1/4 of a tank is around 15 liters ~ 15kg ~ 33lbs. So real curb weight is around 3305lb at scales, plus 33lbs missing quarter tank = 3338lbs, minus your audio things (15lbs) = 3323lbs, versus official number 3362lbs. Was there any other things in the car at the scales? P.S. In 2010 they removed lot's of things from the car, but didn't update the number in specs, so I thought it should be slightly lighter than that.... Also, C&D tested 328i three times. Prior to 2010 model year they were able to get 6.1 sec 0-60, but in 2010 it was 5.9 secs... So that might be partially due to weight savings. Last edited by accel; 11-27-2012 at 11:17 AM.. |

no fold down seat either. I think here are the differences between base 2010 and "pre-lci" : no hood insulation 6 speakers, no amp vs 10 speakers with amp no trunk bottom cloth tray(one underneth the trunk floor) "semi" lightened flywheel 23lb vs 31lb (production after 8/2008)) no pre-wiring for alarm system that 07 CD tested has more pkgs in it, as tested price was like 38k, 09 model down to 36k(base plus zsp) i guess with only sport package and lighter flywheel on 09, it was able to out pace 07 by 0.2 sec to 60 and 1/4 mile. assuming enviromental factor are similar.

Also gone 2010 vs 2009 (2009 is LCI) - cargo nets - drink cooler - ashtray - trunk key\lock All in all, I hoped there would be more weight savings... Moonroof alone should weigh around 30lbs... So your (and mine) cars should be lighter than 3323lbs I hoped it would go somewhere in 325 area. |

I already bought non run flats, but got space saver spare wheel plus jack, so no weight savings on this one |

New tires are in the garage, but original ones still have around 5k miles to go. So, can't report on this yet.
For my previous car I had a dedicated set of lightweight wheels for autocross, so I was swapping them back and forth. And I can tell you I felt the difference. |
