The 335i is basically a 3600lbs car. My guess on 135i, if it gets produced, would be then between 3300 to 3400lbs.
Good info. Not what I would call good news, but good info. Thanks. Maybe I can resist some of the extras that make 'em heavy when I order mine.

You're right. Heck, I was shocked by how heavy the MINI is for such a small car.
