    if you are thinking about tracking it remember that its almost half a ton heavier than the e30 with alot more body flex.



    but its still more pimp to drive.

          ok maybe not another 1000 pounds but it feels like it sometimes.

          i think the cabrios are at 3000lbs, and the coupes are around 2500lbs

          someone correct me if im wrong.

                Depends on the model of E30. Verts are about the same curb weight as the iX: ~3050lbs

                Late model M20 cars are ~2850
                Etas are ~2700
                M10 cars are ~2450, M42 cars are 2600ish whereas M42 verts are 2850

                So in general, 200lbs heavier than a comparable coupe/sedan is a good approximation.

                  My '92 with a full tank and me (165lbs) came to 3300

                  Search for E30S50Cabrio, he has a cage in his 'vert

                    According to my door sticker, I'm somewhere around 3300. 1800 front, 1500 rear I believe.

                      Your door sticker isn't curb weight, it's weight with passengers. Not accurate. drive on a road scale.

                        This is true. Hard top helps stiffen it up a lot as well.

                              Awesome! I spent about two hours removing my AC, but you just lightened it another ~300 lbs in one post! Thanks!

                              Maybe I'll actually weight it eventually, after new engine, cross brace etc are installed, but that's pretty low on the priority list.
                              It's even lower than doing homework, which is not getting done.......thanks to r3v. :mrgreen:
