all i found this far

[nando]

the transfercase is about 65lbs, the front diff is about 40.

the ix also has an aluminum subframe and other pieces that are steel on standard E30s.

I believe the engine is in a slightly different position - closer to the firewall. I haven't been able to confirm this though.

the other ~30-40lbs is from the front strut housings and driveshafts.

i finally found the fully dressed m20 weight at 360lb so less then 550lbs to lift as one peice
thanks

I believe you are correct, because I took the engine out of my iX for a rebuild and it seemed a lot tighter then the one I took out of a 325i (1989)

The ix engine I have forsale as it sits with the exhaust & intake manifolds attached weighs 347 lbs.
