We've done "
Dealership Weigh Days" before with some local dealers for new car models (we weighed 5 option package variations of the EVO IX when it was released, above), and when we do we always remove the spare tire (if equipped) and calculate the fuel load and back that out for an accurate "race weight". All of our local BMW dealerships "over option" all new models and its hard to get an accurate weight on a low optioned one, though. (we still need to do this - they just got their first 1 series cars at the end of last week)
If anyone has a 1 series (esp. 135i with low options!) in the Dallas area please send me a PM, as we'd love to corner weigh one of these at our shop, as well. I'll even test fit some wheels if you stop by (and weigh the stock "run flat anchors"). We're looking for an E92 M3 also.
Thanks,
