this is probably a real stupid question that ill end up answering myself where can i find the how much my car weighs? im assuming its the black stick right below where the door connects..

 

I actually got my MINI weighed at AMVIV.

LilTiger is a fat pig 'vertible; coming in at 2,961lbs.

 

That's surprisingly heavy. But yours is R53 convertable. I think my r56 mcs is about 2700lb.
But this source says 2657 lb. The picture is not correct but it is 2007 MCS w/ steptronic.

 

According to a PDF titled, MINI R56: Technical Data 2007 the MINI Cooper S Hatch is 2723 lbs. and the Cooper Hatch is 2634 lbs.

 

Good starting numbers...but the minute you mod wheels/tires, STB, USS, brakes, sway bars, suspension, stereo systems, back seats (in/out), etc. etc....you lose insight as to the real number.

That's why after 6 months of modding, I got her weighed at AMVIV.

 

07 MCS is 2564 is Curb, 2700 stock with driver with 6speed no sunoroof or leather, OE wheels., 3/4 tank. track weight should be around 2650

 

Sunroof, turbo, and AT are the the 3 biggest variables.
The 2-gen sunroof is quite a bit heavier than the 1-gen.

 

If you've taken delivery it does give this info in the back of the owners manual.

 

thanks for all your help!

 

2650 lbs. is correct weight for 07 MCS.
