[randomtask37]

whats the weight and weight distribution on a stock 87 325is?

hell, if u know that, why not just list all the models and weights/distribution!

[MattE30]

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

[Rob]

even 318is?

[nando]

I thought the 318is was 50/50 including the driver

[318driver]

what about a 325i cabrio?

not sure about the cabrio, but that was out of my 1987 bmw na brochure

318is with a M50 6cyl, 325 tranny and 325 diff weighs 2620.

I just whipped out the BMW 3 series Enthusiasts Handbook.

87-91 325i, 325is: 53/47

I guess I was a bit off with my first post (posting at 6:45am can do that to ya)

[Rob]

do you know your distribution stu?

[Stu]

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

Can always compensate via height adjustment.

[Bryson]

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

E30 325is ´89 with S50B30 and trans + custom exhaust and "17´s :: 2844lbs with a full tank of gas,

Weight distribution front/rear : 52/48
:)
I feel no ill handling effects of the s50b30 engine in there,

Stefáns turbo m20 was : 2866lbs (4dr ´86 325i ) on 16´s and spoiler kit, + some speakers and such,

[Stu]

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.

[Rob]

thats what i'm trying to figure out stu....sunroof motors dont weight that much do they?
