C&D vs. R&T articles question re: weight and price - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

The R&T articles states the curb weight at 3340 and C&D states the curb weight at 3420. The option list seems the same but that's a pretty substantial difference (80lbs considering the 135 is only 140-200 lighter than a 335)

Also, since the option list seems the same, it is odd that the as tested price in R&T and C&D are not the same.

I'm basically trying to figure out which options would add the most weight. I noticed that neither mag has cars with the premium audio. And I noticed that the 335 comes with the premium audio standard. Could this be a heavy option?

It will definitely add weight, but I don't know how much weight.

I suspect the power seats add the most weight of all options but I've decided I need everything that comes with the premium package.

If I could order it loaded but with manual seats I'd do it in a heartbeat.

How much does the driver weigh? Always something to be ganied there. If you're worried about grams, guess you'll keep the glovebox empty and nothing else in the car. Might help to never fill above half a tank, and keep the fluids at the bare minimum.

Do you really think the weight difference in options matters that much to a passenger car?

^ i weigh 130lbs. I'm not worried about grams. Any insight on the car and driver versus road and track thing? their weights were without drivers, "curb weights" and its weird that the prices were different.

how much do you guys think the power seats add?? I was just gonna get the power seats without the sport package because i don't need all that stuff but i would feel weird without power seats in a bmw.
