M10s (2.0s) varied from 138Kg to 148kg (tii) to 160kg (turbo).

M20s all look to be 175kg

These appear to be for "complete" engines, whatever that means(!); the book doesn't say.

While I'm at it, here are some more:

S38 M6 215kg (unfortunately, no weight for S14 M3)

M30 3.0 big six 192.5kg

M60 4.0 V8 210kg

S50 US '95 M3 not given either.

the weight is negligible and can be dealt with with suspension mods. You need more braking power and tires that can handle the torque output, definetely a lsd or even a quaife!

JJ on roadfly had the weight for the S50:

"337 lbs. (block and head with oil pan, front covers

and valve cover and oil filter housing)"

FYI [337 pounds = 153 kilograms]

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
