Since Diamond publishes an empty weight of 3153 lbs (which will be the best case and virtually all aircraft will be heavier) the 3329 lb min weight is from a practical point of view a meaningless number as your total pilot and fuel load would have to be no more then 176 pounds (or less if the empty weight is higher) for this to be limiting.
