    53 % front, 47% rear which is the same with all 87-91 e30s except for the m3, iX and cabrio.

            325i: 2850

                    Sure don't. Need to put it on Billy's corner scales and find out.

                    Can always compensate via height adjustment.

                      Stu, get your car corner balanced, then measure the height of your fenders, so I can rob your settings

                          325's seem to be a bit heavier. I think there's more to it...besides the drivetrain and sound deadening. 318's are lighter somewhere else.
