I was always under the impression that auto tranny would be heavier than a manual...yet bmwusa lists the stock weight of a 2.5i w/auto as 2932 and the manual as 2998- was my presumption just incorrect? And is there any big reason why there would be a 50 lbs difference?

I always thought the Step was heavier, but can' say that I've ever actually seen an accurate comparison

I know the Z4 SMG weighs 20# more than the 6 spd manual

In theory, the auto should be heavier.

Just wondering? :D

Oh dear Lord.... :laugh

I'm really hoping P does not own a Z4, or this thread might be umm interesting(to put it mildly).....

Gary, you're killing me! :rofl:

I'm really glad you brought that up. The Z4 has more muscle tone than say, a Z3. Since, as we all know, muscle weighs more than fat the Z4 will tip the scales more than the beloved Z3.

What's it weigh? Depends on the driver.... :devillook

I started this thread...

Why does my original thread show up as post #4? :dunno

Would P be happy with this? I think NOT!!!

Wasn't me, but I noticed that, too...

Maybe I don't understand the new format, but I'm pretty sure I started the thread...

WIPSTT

What if P started this thread? :(

I think it got merged to another "weight" thread... maybe by a passing admin...?

:devillook

Could be... :biglaughb

Sorry guys. I merged these threads together. They are similar. Your post is 4th because the other 3 posts happened before yours. I kept your title because it was more fitting. Sorry for the confusion. :D

when are the mods on this board going to learn to keep their f-ing hands off the d@mn threads :mad: bunch of do-gooder zealots I tell ya :firedevil

my Z4 3.0 6sp weighed 2980# with a low tank from the factory

2850# in full SCCA Stock Solo2 trim

only option is Sport Suspension

Greg likely didn't catch the joke, it was a spin off of a similar thread(s) in Z3.... :laugh

2890# huh, interesting...

How's everyone doin?:devillook: :D

Nice of you to "weigh in" Greg... ;)

You guys ride to school on the short bus? Figure it out!

:D

shortbus = m coupe, though, right? :dunno

;) :D

What's with all the coughing --something caught in y'all throat?

They're slow, scan the whole forum, you might get it.:D

If I told you that I have a tongue like that & I've learned to breath through my ears, would you be interested Baby? :eek:

Good lines Gary, good lines:D


You're making my day today:D

Extremely bored at work Greg... Looking forward to firing up a fatty, pouring up an apple Martini & checking out a Steve Vai dvd tonight...

Glad to keep you entertained!!! :buttrock

If I told you that I have a tongue like that & I've learned to breath through my ears, would you be interested Baby? :eek:

Like I've told many a boyfriend...It's not the length honey, it's what you do with it
:stickoutt





Oh, and Wanna, coughwentothewronge36cough :)

Sounds good, pretty much what I'll be doing tonight, except for that Steve Vai thing though:D

:rofl: :rofl2:

Oh man, I'm sorry I missed that...

Hey, next time you're bored, gimme a call, we'll chat. I've dealt with so many files in english lately, if they walk by my door and hear me speak english, they won't suspect a thing.

BTW, we need a decent dog life thread in OT...

:devillook

Great pic, Josie!

Thank you! :winknudge

a Z4 weight thread and I didn't know about it? Shame on me. Shame on the Z4 too for no particular reason. Soooooo....the weight of a Z4 depends on several variables...wheel and tire weight can significantly alter total automobile weight. Other significant variables include whether you are weighing the car WITH passengers or without passengers.
Just thought I'd point out some less obvious things that others from the short bus may not have thought of.

I doubt any "WEIGHT" thread will ever be the same again.

I doubt any "WEIGHT" thread will ever be the same again.
It'll be better. Gimme points:D

I'm looking for points too...

I'm saving mine up to get the iron lung! :D

:lol: I might need one too

:D

I love this thread!!!

Would P drive a Z4?

Yeah, especially in Purple... :D

What are these points everyone talks about? :dunno

NNNOOOOWWWWAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

P is all about pre-Bangle man!

Now, go wash your mouth out with soap young man! :D

I'll ask him when I see him... :D

What are these points everyone talks about? :dunno

You know, the whole green dot thingy. I've already given you props...

Where's mine? Those iron lungs can get expensive...

Ok.... :)

Yeah, especially in Purple... :D

I see that communication with the mods is NOT the admins forte... :D

I'll be discovering stuff 2 yrs from now on this site, trust me, I don't exactly have a rep for embracing technology... :D

As long as you can still hit a "440 A" we'll guide you through the setup man!

I see that communication with the mods is NOT the admins forte... :D
Sounds like my company:)

Mine too... :(

Here too, wow!
