Hi all,
I've just come back from weighing my vehicle. Before you read on, know the context of these results.
Equipment of Vehicle
The vehicle is a 2015 f80 m3 with no options except m-adaptive suspension. That means 18" wheels, 6 manual trans, etc.
Carbon fiber roof
Fuel
The tank had 3 gallons in it INCLUDING THE RESERVE at the time of weighing. This was confirmed by filling up AFTER the weigh in and putting in 12.89 gallons.
Miscellaneous Items in Car
I removed everything from the vehicle not physically screwed down. No manual, no extra quart of oil in the trunk, no trunk net, etc.
Weight: 3,450 pounds
This was weighed at a scrap yard that charged me $4 to weigh the car. However, their scales are inspected and verified down to a narrow range because people are getting paid by the pound.

For comparison purposes, EAS weighed an M3 and M4 with much higher levels of equipment and with either an empty or full tank:
