The last time I weighed my swapped ti, it was just over 2900 lbs, with a 51/49 weight ratio bias. That was with a full interior (including Vader seats) and a battery relocation to the rear. I did this on a truck scale, so my results are not nearly as detailed as Rich's...

Very interesting topic! And hello for all from Finland!

This is -95 318ti without driver, 3/4 tank, 205/50/16 Federal RSR:s on generic non-OEM aluminium wheels, vented 325 discs front, removed spare and holder, jack, tools and warning triangle. All upholstery stock, no race belts etc. Stock suspension.

Car is equipped with M42 which wasn't available in US if i remember right. -95 was last year of M42 also in Europe. Manual AC and power windows, originally sold to italy , imported to far north much later, with only ~100k on clock.

Car had some crash damage on the end of last summer, now trying to get it going again. Will be lighter, battery has already lightened ~10kg, also throwing out rear seats and other unneccessary junk...
