It appears there are 2 answers. There are official/governmental definitions and then there is whatever the manufacturer wishes to do (no surprise). In the case of BMW it appears quite certain that the numbers include driver but BMW typically uses "Unladen weight" in US specification sheets.

Anything to add on this "unladen" thing Boss330?
