Default I find it amusing that S4 owners are calling the 335 heavy

Hello Pot, Hello Kettle. Black, black.

Well actually it weighs a 100lbs more and has 2 doors and no quattro drivetrain!

Default Coupes are notorious for being heavier than 4 doors

The M3 4 door was around 150lbs lighter than the 2 door, for example

Default I don't think that's actually true.

I don't care either way, honestly; most new BMWs don't really do it for me. but some stats:

2000 S4 curb weight: 3704 lbs
http://www.canadiandriver.com/testdrives/00audi_s4.htm

335i curb weight: 3571 lbs

True, but they will be putting the X drive AWD system in the sedan. Not sure about the coupe.

Default You are correct-the article said 3700lbs but Bmw states 3571.

And then I did a search on this forum and it states the S4 weighed 3600. My research shows 3700.
