I’ve heard conflicting things about the weight of the BMW M3. Can you clear it up? How much does a BMW M3 weigh?

How much a
BMW M3
weighs is approximately 3,745 pounds.
In fact, the actual weight of the
BMW
M3 is less than the estimated curb weight announced by the company (3,840 to 3,990 pounds).
Did the company make a mistake? No! Curb weight is usually calculated based on specific parameters. To assess official curb weight BMW uses:
  • A 90% full fuel tank
  • A 10-lb. suitcase
  • A 150-lb. driver
So, if you drive with about half a tank and no luggage, you can expect your BMW’s weight to be closer to 3,500.
Either way, it’s important to ensure that you
maintain
your vehicle properly and keep robust
car insurance
coverage. Use the
