I have to believe that BMW's estimates are on the low side.
That's the case with the W204 C63. According to MBUSA, the sedan's curb weight is 3,649 lbs.
In the real word, the LCI sedan usually weighs between 3,700-3,850 lbs (with fuel but without a driver). |
You should read more in the thread in the f80 section.
Clearly the car can be made heavier with options, it's always been that way.
Bottom line is that it is possible in a stripped m4 to be 3300-3350 lbs.
Us curb weight includes driver / luggage plus any extra options that are estimated to be sold in over 33% of cars.
It's the same for the e92. The din weihjt was 3486 and the us curb was 3704. Numjerous examples exist of e92 being weighed by magazines at 3525-3550 lbs with some options. Same story here. Us curb weight is just as innacurate.
All outlined well by boss330 in the f80 section.
