S50 is iron block so I would of thought it was heavier...
Si - can you lose 1kg off a toblerone?

oh your so right!
my m40 was only about 40kgs untill it went pop
good to hear the m30 only weighs 26kg more than the m20
its all about where it is placed and weight distribution.
try to keep the bmw balance

Interesting M30 V M60 weight comparrison there!
Perhaps my M60 in an E28 would be a good idea after all
