Corner Weighed the M2 Today
I've wanted a set of corner scales for over a decade now and finally got around to picking up a set. Put my 2018 M2 LCI with Recaro Sportster CS front seats, VAC seat mounts, Recaro sliders, rear seat backs removed and an Akrapovic cat-back exhaust. The car is a manual without a sunroof and had a full tank of gas.

Cool! This seems to be sort of consistent with what BMW says. I have something that says "Curb Weight" is 3593lbs. Is your lower number because of the modifications you have made? Or, is "curb weight" comparing apples and oranges? BMW also has rear weight at 48.1%.
A little subtraction also reveals you appear to weigh 171lbs. |

I believe BMW lists the curb weight of a manual M2 without a sunroof at 3450lbs. I've lightened the car a bit by removing the rear seatbacks, replacing front seats and using a titanium cat back exhaust. I believe the stock front/rear bias is a bit better than what I have above from the rear seatback removal.

That's awesome. I did that to the Lotus when I first got it. 2,000 lbs on the nose.

That seems about on point with what BMW publishes. At about 6.3 lbs per gallon, half a tank means about 7-8 gallons missing. That's around 45-50 lbs. Add a few more lbs for stock wheels and you're at BMW's published weight.

Edit: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1529257 110 lb. - Swap out the wheels and 6pot front brakes, by then we're not talking about much difference. They're both M2s. Threads are not proprietary, they are open to all as far as I understand. Last edited by AlpsRider; 05-10-2021 at 11:48 AM.. |

I see a hood and an AntiGravity battery for additional loss, and an Evolution Racewerks Intercooler and KW Clubsports as weight adders. |

You can't trust BMW weights. The only way to compare is to weigh two cars equipped exactly the same way in the same market. The guy that I linked to had a US M2 manual and purchased a new M2C configured exactly the same. That is about as close to a true weight comparison as you're going to get.
