The BMW figure in the Z4 brochure is 3450 lbs. This is the unladen or curb weight. They factor in a tank of fuel into the curb weight. They do not factor in driver weight.
Road & Track lists the Z4 curb weight as 3460 (off by 10 lbs from the BMW brochure, so probably a misprint) and a test weight of 3615, because they had a 155 lb driver test driving it.
R & T ran a 4.8 second 0-60 with their 155 lb lightweight of a test driver. So what's slowing me down about .05 seconds is the extra 45 lbs of body weight I have on the test driver. Easy modification - eat less, exercise more.
