Dunno exactly but with auto box it's about 212kg

I think the M30 is around the 145kg mark. (engine only)

I think that auto box weights about 30kg and the clutch (or how it's called on the auto boxes) doesn't weight more than 20 kg, so the engine itself should be about 160kg. I know that m30b35 weights about 2 kilos more than the m60B40 - the 4 litre v8.
