    Ok so what is the official weight distribution of the coupe and sedan in stock form? How much is the weight difference.

    The reason I made the initial statement is because I had the exact same suspension set up on my old 89 325is and I did notice a difference. I don't base my opinions on assumptions.

      Nose heavy... has nothing to do with your freakin doors... NOSE.. BONNET for those who are brit or watch top gear.. whats under the bonnet is what makes it front heavy... IE 6 cylinders vs 4 cylinders will make a bigger handling different than a couple doors.

          Okay so while you're all talking about weight distribution I'll say that you have OEM Aplina seats and they're baller as fuck. Love the gloss black wheels too.

              Hey, did you steal my seats? :D


              Nice alpine sedan! Not a fan of black wheels, but I'll deal.

                I like the stance. Can I have your seats?

                  Nice, but get yourself a 3 spoke steering wheel.

                  A leather ebrake handle and boot are also nice, inexpensive upgrades that make the interior look and feel more luxurious as well.

                    The direct comparison I'm making is the 325 coupe/sedan not the M42. The weight distribution balance of the M20 sedan compared with the M42 sedan should be better. The weight distribution has A LOT to do with your motor and DOORS.

                      Well I could be persuaded to part with the seats, PM me some offers.

                      They came out of an 83 Euro E30. They bolt right up and the style is similar to the E21 Recaros.

                        If you give me your seats, it will lighten up the front of the car and make it handle better.:)

                        EDIT: SRSLY, how much do you want for those bad mother effers?
