Estimated weight of your new M3/M4
So just for fun/discussion - what would be your guess for the way you would equip your own F8x M3/M4? Obviously we will know more about weight after Detroit debut - but until then, here is my guess:
First - Assume 3305 lbs for an M4 with new manual transmission, CCB, carbon fiber roof and lightest OEM wheels available as a "baseline" (as new M4 will be "under" 1500kg or 3306 lbs): F80 M3: maybe 35 extra pounds just for body (approximate weight difference between E90 and E92 M3); 11 extra pounds vs CF trunk on F82; 2 extra pounds roof (F82 CF roof weight savings is 13lbs, vs only 11lb weight savings for F80); 70 lbs for DCT transmission (old manual 44 lbs lighter than DCT in E9x M3 - new manual 26lbs lighter - so assuming new DCT (from current M5/M6) same weight as DCT from E9x); and finally - steel brakes instead of CCB - 40 lbs. So - my F80 M3 as I would Equip it would be approx. 3463 lbs. (3305+35+11+2+70+40). Actually - I just remembered EDC v. Non adjustable shocks probably would add weight on top of that - no idea how much more though. Anyone hazard a guess of weight difference for EDC v non adjustable shocks? |

Actually I just thought of something else - the approximate 35 lb difference between E90M3 and E92M3 assumes carbon fiber roof on E92, but steel roof (no moon roof) on E90. So I may have "double counted" the weight of roof on F80 - which would mean reduce my estimated weight by about 11lbs (now 3452 lbs)...
But still need a guess as to weight difference between EDC and non adjustable shocks... |

My guess is 3,500 pounds if I weighed it myself with all fluids and 1/4 tank gas - no driver.
Manual trans, maybe full leather interior, no other options, sedan. |
