how can I determine the weight distribution. I know that stock E55's have a 53% front and 47% rear split (FYI the E55 estates have a 49/51 split). Any clue?

Yep. A friendly local moving company or freight company should be able to weigh your car with just the front wheels on the scale and just the back wheels on the scale for just a few bucks.

Try a local race prep shop, most have a system on hand. I have a set of Longacre 4-wheel scales. will weigh my '04 E55 when I get the chance.

Thanks for the suggestions guys...I was surprised that the estate was supposed to weigh 256lbs more than the sedan and tested faster to 60, skidpad, and breaking. I guess weight distribution (i.e. weight over the rear wheels) does make a difference.

A Flying-J truck stop is a cheap place to get it done if you have them or something similar.

I have race scales with 1500lb pad capacities but as the race cars only weigh 1000-2000lbs, I am not about to put a 4000lb+ tank on them as it tends to tweak the strain gauges a bit (yes I am am ****).

Most truck stops will weight your car for free, but I'm not sure if they have the capability of determining the weight distribution. A performance shop would probably be more equipped.
