I was just looking at this again (ref the new M3 weight - 3649pounds to EU unladen) and actually there isn't much difference in EU and USA unladen weights (i.e. they both include 250 - 300 pounds of driver / luggage / fuel).

I still think that the "true" unladen weight will be about 3086 pounds for the 135ti...I'll be having the 130i personally as I enjoy more revs and less weight.

(NB this "true" unladen weight is what Porsche quotes on their website in the USA and used to do in Europe (to make their cars appear lighter IMHO ;-)...I haven't looked at other USA spec cars / sites...probably the same tho')
