Interestingly, AM&S show the DIN weight at 1,655kg, but their test car weighed 55kg less at 1,600kg (see screenshot below). It seems like the revised DIN regulation now has vehicles homologated quite heavier than they are on the street.
As a tidbit, you'd be surprised, the weight of those 5 sunblinds add up to over 5kg, I was surprised myself when I looked it up in ETK. That being said, it is not only the sunblinds that make the difference, but a few kg here and there do eventually add up. |
5kg here and there will struggle to show a noticeable delta vs the standard weights.
I have seen a lot of weights throughout the years of people's cars with aftermarket wheels, or without pieces of standard equipment, or without a completely full tank that are radically different than what I get in a similar car.
To this day people tell me it's impossible my E46 M3 weighed 3500lb, or that my E92 M3 weighs 3600lb. Maybe it's impossible or maybe I weigh my cars with zero modifications.
For euro weights I use a euro datasheet, like this:
