Does anyone know of a good place in orlando FL where i can take my 5 and 3 series to be weighed at? I'd really like to check with a full tank of gas and no one sitting or anything in the trunk.

Try a truck weight station, usually at quaries and junk yards.

do not you guys have the exacgt weight of your car written down on the car's registration card??? It is a law in my country and when registering the car they put the exact weight of the particular car on the registration card. They do now weight the car of course, they take it off a registration documents that are coming with the car from the factory in Germany....

just curious

yes you can find out the weight very easily online. no need to weigh. gas weighs about the same as water-- 1 kg per liter I think.

You can find the "curb weight" online, but not the specific weight of a particular vehicle with its optional equipment.
