The 135i is heavy, and that's the one people talk about normally.

A no sunroof (50 lbs for sunroof), no idrive (40 lbs for idrive), manual trans (60 lbs more for automatic) (that's what I meant when I said properly optioned earlier) 128i is 3050 lbs. I know this because my brother had one and we put it on my corner balancing scales.

I haven't had a Z4MC on my scales, but according to BMW it's curb weight is nearly 3300 lbs.

... unless you meant non M. Those are lighter. I'm assuming that's not what you meant, because very few (<300?) were sold in this country.
