With the different methods of weight measurement used for the US and EU markets, there's been some confusion as to the actual weight of the F80 M3 / F82 M4 (versus the
published weights), even after our
recent interview.
Luckily,
Axis of Oversteer got their hands on a F80 M3 and put it on the scale. It weighed in a
3562 pounds.
This weight was measured with a full tank (60 liters / 15.9 gallons) and without driver. Options include: standard (non-ceramic) brakes, carbon fiber roof, 6 speed manual transmission, 19" wheels, LED headlights, HUD, and HK audio.
Update: Axis of Oversteer also recently had a E90 M3 on the same scale and it weighed in a
3736 lbs (fully optioned, DCT, full tank, no driver) -
174 lbs heavier than the F80 M3. On the same scale, a E92 3 Series weighed in at
3585 lbs (no sunroof, manual transmission).
