whats the weight of a 325 sport (with no-one in it!), and how much more with a sunroof and air-conditioning?

trying to work out a bhp/ton for a 220brake 325.

Yep, the compressor is nearly as big or bigger than the alternator and weighs more. The dryer, extra electric fan, piping etc. The whole lot does weigh alot! 20kg sounds about right, I took it all out of my sport.

Weighed my standard 2 door 325i manual (later plastic bumper model) which had manual sunroof, wind up windows and no power steering. With a full fuel tank it was 1190kg.
Took a Sport to the same weighbridge a month later and that was 1260 kg, again with a full tank. That car had electric windows, electric sunroof, PAS, Leather, rear heads etc. I haven't weighed a car with air con but it's going to add a good few kilos.
My advice would be to find weighbridge and check it out properly. Most council transport yards have one, mine charges a fiver and gives you a printout, which is nice!

Is 1180kg a standard 2dr though, so therefore have to consider weight of the M-Tech kit?
