I have a bare bones 2005 E55. No panorama, no Distronic, no parktronic, no dynamic seats. I think the only thing I have optional is the navigation ( if that was even an option in 05 ).

I got it weighed today and it came out to 4053lbs with a half tank of gas. My car has absolutely no weight reduction so it seems like I have a good weight to start with...lol. It's also remarkably balanced. Front to rear is 52.7% / 47.3% which I was kinda shocked to find out. Side to side ain't bad either.

Anyways, the weights without me came out to:
L - R

1041 - 1096 F

939 - 977 R

And with me ( 4217lbs total ):

L - R

1087 - 1122 F

1009 - 999 R

AWOL

Not bad, my 03 is at 3980 currently with 1/4tank. Minimal weight reduction done

Interesting. For comparison, a 2010 M5 is 4012 lbs dry.

That's a healthy E55 (at least weight wise)

The E63s are a little heavier.... with Premium 2 package, most E63s come in at 4200 lbs and with pano roof, I think they were close to 4340 lbs

What about a Lotus, LMFAO

Sorry, just had too

Thats a very good weight to begin:

Some of the weight reduction plans I have planned for the track are, just to share:

1. BBS LM's - there are lighter wheels, but I like these
2. Battery- Some out there that reduce weight by at least 30- 40lbs
3. Lighter Rotors- 10 lbs on each corner??
4. Remove spare tire-20 lbs

Anything else out there? Thought about seats but thats a little extreme at this point...

You can go the C63 route and try a Carbon fiber hood/trunk

at 164lbs clothed (assuming you didnt get naked for the weighin), you clearly need to go on a diet j/k

lol damn i need to get new lightweight wheels to save 30lbs , with me in the car, to match your car+driver weight total

GT-ER

I actually found that kinda weird...I actually weigh 185 with cloths on so I guess the scales have some margin of error.

As for the diet...yeah...

AWOL

My duralast battery weighs 53 lbs, the braille is 15, so thats a good way to lose 38 lbs as well

gaspam

how is the braille for everyday use treating you? I have heard both good and bad so i am still on sideline on that upgrade

AWOL

I havent jumped on it yet, from what I gather it should be fine for warm climate everyday use

I dread to think what my car would weigh. I have the Pano and seats and I'm about 180lbs with an empty stomach. I drive around with a full tank of gas 90% of the time.

skratch77

Mine was 4460 with me in it and nothing in the trunk.

GT-ER

How much do you weigh?

skratch77

between 207-215

GT-ER

Damn, you car is pretty heavy.

skratch77

your scale is off bro,if you are off by 20lbs then your car is def off the more it weighs.

prodigymb

mine weighed in at 4120 without me in it and nothing removed and full audio system. sub/amp etc..

skratch77

enless we all use the same scale its hard to compare.even a 3% margin of error is huge when you are talking about 4k plus lbs

lol its like dyno racing

GT-ER

Yup, not much I can do though...I guess it's pretty close to the expected weight though since my E55 is bare bones. According to Yahoo Auto a 2005 E55's curb weight is 4087. Close enough I guess.

Stupid question: where do you guys go to weigh your car?

AMG_RL

local race tracks have weigh stations.

GT-ER

I had to go to a performance shop where they had the scales.

AWOL

I go to a mining truck scale, since they cant afford to be off by much, its pretty accurate
