Am I too fat???

clairvoyant · 02-21-2011, 02:36 PM

I already posted this question on the general category, let see what fellow Canadians think......

According to the E90 normal loaded position defined by BMW for alignment:
Each front seat: 68 kg (150 lbs).
Center of rear seat: 68 kg (150 lbs).

I weigh 192 lbs....Am I too fat to drive my 335i?

I don't think so, I'm 220 lbs and my seats are AOK

Sounds like your gonna have to put a ballast weight on your right front seat so you don't screw up your alignment...

50 extra lbs is practically nothing for a car...

Damn I'm 170. I doubt your car will notice a difference.

In all seriousness though, 150 lbs is the design number. They probably picked 150 because they probably figured the majority of the people driving would weigh anywhere from 100 to 200 lbs.

The trick about engineering anything is that you have to make assumptions based on statistics and general use.

I still say you are causing the car to go out-of-balance...

you will probably notice during hard-cornering...
