Interesting that one "ICE" car can vary in weight by over 25%, or almost 400kg.
Maybe it's because that weight "range" isn't really for that ICE car. The low end of the range is suspiciously close to the 1590kg figure for the BMW 320i, an actual ICE car: https://www.bmw.co.nz/en/all-models/3-series/bmw-3-series-sedan/bmw-3-series-sedan.html/bmw-320i-sedan.bmw https://www.bmw.co.nz/en/all-models/3-series/bmw-3-series-se...
While the upper end of the range is suspiciously close to the 1910kg of the BMW 330e -- a plug-in hybrid: https://www.bmw.co.nz/en/all-models/3-series/bmw-3-series-sedan/bmw-3-series-sedan.html/bmw-330e-plug_in-hybrid.bmw https://www.bmw.co.nz/en/all-models/3-series/bmw-3-series-se...
I guess both sides can astroturf.
- thebruce87m 2y agoI didn’t take me long to find this: https://www.ultimatespecs.com/car-specs/BMW/119385/BMW-G20-3-Series-M340d-xDrive.html https://www.ultimatespecs.com/car-specs/BMW/119385/BMW-G20-3... > Curb Weight : 4206 lbs / 1908 kg I suspect if I looked through every model I’d find heavier ICE only but close enough I’d say.
