Weight and Performance Question '99 E430

What is the published curb weight for a '99 E430 with the sport package?

Also, does anyone have a link to an old automotive media review of this car? I'm curious about what the reviews were like and what the performance numbers were.

I've got mine running like a top, and I'm really starting to enjoy this thing. I purchased an OBD bluetooth device and am getting real time data to my Android using the Torque app, and I need the vehicle's weight for it to properly calculate fuel economy. It is a really cool app, and the device works beautifully in transmitting data.

How does weight factor in mpg? I realize it would affect mpg, but I don't see the connection in calculating actual mpg.....

I'm not sure, but it asks for the weight in kilograms, and the engine displacement. I'm guessing it also uses fuel flow data.

Maybe the accelerometer in the phone plays into this calculation, too?
