    Weighed my car today-

    Thinking about this for a while, have seen weights range all over the place on tech sheets- EU vs US... so today I had it put on a scale-

    '79 US 733i, manual, non power seats

    no driver
    orig exhaust (f'n heavy) replaced by aftermarket
    4+- gallons of gas in the tank- Light just came on and ususlly 18+- gal to fill it
    nothing else in the car or trunk- spare tire in trunk,

    weighed in at svelte 3604lbs, I thought it would've come in a little lighter, anyone else ever weigh their e23?

    The 79 Euro 732i has a book weight of 1530kg/3373 pounds you tipped the scales 230 pounds more than the stripped € model and you got the big bumpers, probably some kind of heavy pollution control system and all the amenities that the US cars came with standard that were options in Germany. Might seem about right.
