Perhaps:
"Stock Z4 3.0si Coupe weighs 3073 to 3108 lbs (google), 50% F, 50 % R, don't if this is w/o fluids or full tank of gas
Stock Z4M Coupe weighs 3231 lbs (half tank) to 3275 (full tank), 50.5% F, 49.5%rear confirmed by a few members on bimmerforums
My 2JZ Coupe weighs 3175 lbs (half tank), 52.7% F, 47.2% R."
Without confirmation of a stick Z4 3.0si weight, I can only surmise after some reading that BMW quotes curb weight as 90% of gas in the tank, full fluids. That would mean 3108 is the closer weight. My weight was at half tank, thus, add 42lbs (7 gallons more), and I would be at 3217 = 109 lbs more.
Regardless, I'm still about 50lbs lighter than a Z4M, although one could argue throwing the front/rear balance off as much as I have is probably worse in the handling division, but keep in mind: My Supra comes with 55% F, 44% rear - much worse!
