They are very heavy... that is why I brought them up in the first place. 
Over here one could just go to a truck stop and drive the car on the scales....and get a weight, then do the same with your fellow 5series forum members sedan....But it's been like 15 years since I was in Europe and I can't really remember seen a "Truck stop" in Germany/Aus/Swit/Lich on the Highways, just gas stations/service centers.

That's interesting - mine is an 06 530xi and scales exactly the same as yours even though I have a lighter engine...
I guess its the sunroof and the full tank of gas...
PS: Nice to see another Bulgarian on the forum!
I guess we are in love with BMWs

Bringing up this thread again...
My 535xiT 4,300 lbs with a full tank (4,550 when I drive)
Can anyone confirm the weight of the pano roof? Either the actual weight of the unit or the difference of an E61 with it vs. without.
Thanks,
Evan
