On the scales (2004 2.2)

[Sandy]

I'm always curious to know what my cars actually weigh and my colleague has the gear. My car is all standard spec 2.2 with manual fabric seats, alloys are less than a kg each heavier than OE 17s, only extra is CD changer and shown with a 1/3 tank of fuel:

Slightly more than I'd hoped, but still nearly 200kg less than my 330Ci was!

Great piece of kit - bet he'd have a queue if he advertised on here, love to know what mine weighed with and without hardtop for instance

25.5 kg according to info on here from 2008, googled it

Cheers - I'd love to know the overall weight though.

It doesn't weigh that much, more big and awkward. I'd love to be able to take it off myself though.

O.P. had a weight of 1,317kg for his 2.2
Quick google. On Wikipedia the curb weights are as follows (pinch of salt)...


2.0i - 1,295 kg
2.2i - 1,330 kg
2.5i - 1,335 kg
2.5i - 1,345 kg
2.5si - 1,360 kg
3.0i - 1,365 kg
3.0i - 1,370 kg
3.0si - 1,400 kg
M - 1,450 kg

Not sure about the replication of the 2.5i and 3.0i with minor different weights. But it'll give everyone a ball-part figure without having to queue up to see Sandy :lol:

Cornwall might be a bit far for most!

Leather manual seats are heavier than mine, no doubt the electric ones add a fair bit and 6 speed boxes.

I bought a pair of Leather M heated electric seats - they were bloody heavy when I took delivery

did you get the car corner weighted at the time?
Its something i will be getting done when i get new coilovers.

Does beg the question just how much heavier is the 3.0i engine than the 2.2i. There both the same basic head/block. Most of the quoted difference in weight above must be the electric seats/bigger wheels/brakes etc the 3.0i has as standard over the 2.2. Alot of other extras weigh next to nothing like cruise/heated seat pads but some like 18" wheels over 16" do add a fair bit.

I wonder if the M Sport Seats are heavier than their standard counter parts. Should have measure them when I swapped mine over. I just remember them both being bloody heavy!

All in all I dont think any E85/6 is particularly lardy for a road going sports car. Boxsters/Caymans are a similar weight and Nissan Z cars are massively heavier. Sure MX5 are light, but there like shoe boxes and not practical for larger/taller people.

I had my M weighed a while back with one of the seats (electric heated weight ~29kg iirc) swapped for a carbon bucket (6kg), Ap brakes front and rear which must weigh at least a quarter of the oem weight, lighter wheels (~20kg). Half tank of fuel.
I was surprised to see it come in at 1380kg, lighter than I thought it would be.
I've done a few other things since so will get it weighed again next time I'm at the shop.

I was more than happy to ditch my standard electric seats. For manual sports seats. Especially after feeling the difference in weight.

I am hopping with the mods i have done that my car will be more 12?? than 1300

Engine weight must be heavier on a 3.0 as it will have larger pistons, conrods etc and probably bigger tougher valves and crankshaft, or am I missing something.

It also has larger holes in it! (Bores)
