Suspension Calculating a MINIs curb weight
Calculating a MINIs curb weight
Having done some browsing around I ran into some threads in the AX GS area that put a MCS weight at 2510 wet, with minimal fuel. IIRC, the listed number is 2675 or thereabouts. I'm assuming that number is somewhat of an average figure given the vast number of options available. Is there a definitive number for the stock no option MCS, has anyone else weighed their MCS, and is there any info available on the weights of various options and packages?
I weighed mine at a truck stop that had the newer electronic scales and it registered 2825 with me (200 or so pounds.......
) and about half a tank of gas. I have the sport package and no sunroof.

keep in mind that by eu legislation, the advertised mini curb weight must inlcude 170 lb. of driver and baggage and 90% fuel.
if you subtract the driver and package weight and take gas at 6 lbs./ gallon, you can get an empty weight much lower than the officially advertised numbers.
the mcs isn't much heavier than the new NC miata.

My car with half a tank of gas, regular tires (not runflats) on 16" x-lite wheels and no driver weighed 2540lbs. Oh and the car barely has any options, letalone weight-adding ones.
Now it should weigh slightly better since I've swapped to a quicksilver exhaust and 15" wheels ever since then.
