If you count a driver and 90% of a tank then those numbers aren't that far off for the 1s but are fairly optimistic for the 3's

The two reported times someone's weighed an e82 they recorded 3360 lbs for the 135i and 3280 lbs for the 128. Both with a full tank of gas but no driver. Subtracting 10 lbs for the extra 10% gas then adding 150 lbs for the driver brings you just below those figures. About 3500 lbs for the 135i and 3420 for the 128i.

If you count the same driver weight & 90% gas then the threads on here are saying ~3640 for the e92 335i and 3740 - 3794 for the e90 335i.

140 to 240 lbs for a 135i vs 335i isn't as much as it should be but some people on here have done some ridiculous things to their 335i's to drop that much weight.

(I can't believe I cared enough to look that up )
