Everyone keeps talking about how heavy the F10 is... The F10 528i is already under 4K lbs. The US website lists the gross weight as 4971 for a 528i, gross is maximum weight the vehicle can carry (passengers, luggage, etc...) The UK site lists the 528i's unladden weight as 1700kg (3750lbs.). For a 550i it's 4200 unladen, 5400 gross.
