1560 kg = 3439 lb

3439 - 165 = 3274

Gasoline is about 6 lb/gallon. What's the capacitiy? 15.5 gallons?

15.5 X 90% = 13.95. 14 X 6 = 84.

3274 - 84 = 3190.

TDC, Is this how you got to 3186?
Honestly, why would BMW include all this shit to make their cars seem soo much heavier than they are? Is it because they know that 90% of there customers dont care about weight? Its so frustrating.
