Might as well make it a complete thread.....So far we have answers for the Roadster and Berli.

Hi Sue
As I replyed to Martin

I was unaware of this great weight debate as I have not been looking at the forum.

So the Kerbside weight of a BMW E36 M3 Sportster 3.2 321bhp with the original limited-slip diff. and five speed box is 1040kg.

1st axle 470kg
2nd Axel 570kg

Thanks John,
This really helps me, I have also chosen the 5 sp box. I am guessing my car should weigh almost exactly the same. I am going to get springs custom made based on the wheel rates from the suspension layout and use this weight; if you would like to see some numbers I will happily supply mine.
I wonder if you have made any changes to the Marlin kit that I might not, ie heater, seats, maybe a supercharger!
Cheers,
Martin

Has anyone got the weight of an E36 325? or does anyone know the weight difference between the M? 3.2 and the M50 Vanos 325?
