DIN weight, as I eluded in my previous post, features a car in running order with 90% fuel and no optional equipment; EU/EG-Leergewicht weight adds 75 kg to that number. That means there is no need to add 10 kg (standard seats) to the 1,660-kg "base" M4. If 1,630 kg is what an M4 weighs with buckets, then you just add ca. 10 kg to that figure and you've got a car with standard seats. I did not see CCBs in the video, it is possible it had them; no argument here.
BMW Deutschland use EG-Leergewicht in their brochures. Standard equipment varied a lot on the F8x M3/4 which is why I highlighted some of the standard German features. Some markets got manual seats, base iDrive without sat nav, etc.
However, it is safe to say that BMW high-key pulled a Ferrari on us with the original weight figures of the F8x.  Somehow the DCT lost weight over the years, too.
03/2014 (all DIN, 6MT/DCT)
F80: 1,520/1,560 kg
F82: 1,497/1,537 kg
01/2015 (Competition Package)
F80: 1,535/1,560 kg
F82: 1,515/1,540 kg
09/2018 (OPF, no CF driveshaft, non-Competition)
F80: dead
F82: 1,570/1,595 kg
Head hurts from these numbers, am out. |
What do you mean by no need to add 10kg for the std seats?
The curb weight stated by BMW is for the car with std seats. That means if you option CF buckets (and steel brakes) you can subtract 10kg from the stated curb weight.
If you order with std seats (and steel brakes) the curb weight is as stated.
