See the current BMW website as it is today..

http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...fications.aspx


M2 Curb Weight – Manual transmission (lbs) - 3505


M2 Curb Weight – Automatic transmission (lbs) - 3450 lbs

you know what's funny.. the info is BACKWARDS... on the website just goes to show you how typos occur.. as I said earlier.


1M 6MT is 3296 lbs - 1495 kg -
M2 6MT is 3450 lbs - 1564 kg - Euro printed spec is 1570 kg ?
M2 DCT is 3505 lbs - 1589 kg - euro printed spec is 1585 kg ?

since the original day that M2 literature came out with the incorrect figure of 1495 which was the 1M weight.... I have been amazed that people can think that BMW can manufacture two different vehicles.. with different parts content.. 5 years apart.. and have them come down to the same exact weight.... DOWN TO A SINGLE POUND? come on man!

It has been well documented on this forum that 1570kg is EU regulations weight which includes
75kg for driver, fuel and luggage. Back this out and you are at DIN weight 1495kg.
