HELLBM 1557 Report post Posted May 26, 2012 An E46 M3 convertible only 1310kg?Thanks for pointing that out. Revised figures are M5: 1826 kg M3: 1575 kg BMW AG quotes (90% fuel tank + 68 kg driver + 7 kg for luggage + standard trim ) Aprox. 250 kg difference should seriously impact the power to weight ratio.
