I am pretty sure we have already debunked the 3300lb myth. Based on weight-loss %'s straight from BMW, I believe the popular current story is that the weight of the car, with no driver but with all fluids, is between 3450 and 3550 lbs.
(correct me if I am wrong, guys) |
I'll start: When was this debunked...?
EDIT: And I'll add that a figure of 3450-3550 lbs makes absolutely NO SENSE in line with BMW's quoted weight savings. You understand that the 3704 lb figure for the E92 M3 was EU weight correct? Do the math: BMW's listed weight for the E92 M3 was 3704 lbs. EU weight is calculated as the following: Weight of Car with 90% fuel, 68 kg driver, 7 kg cargo. Subtracting the 75 kilograms for driver and cargo, you're already down to 3539 lbs. When you add back the remaining 10% of fuel from the 63 liter tank, you're only up to 3550 lbs -- and that's CURB WEIGHT (all fluids, including 100% gas, no driver or cargo). You're claiming we should anticipate that the new M4 might (you gave a range, but that range extends all the way back to 3550 lbs) have the same exact curb weight as the E92 M3...?
