Correct, and this is why I think BMW is playing games with their weight figures.
This car should weigh 3,540 pounds equipped per BMW's website. Supposedly that reflects how most WILL be equipped, so a DCT car and maybe exec package, right?
Not so much.
HOWEVER, check this out:

A very similarly equipped e90 m3 in 2008 with 3/4 tank of gas weighed in at 3,611 pounds.
So I'm guessing this car is about 120 pounds LIGHTER than an equivalently equipped e90 (4-door)
Edit: That e90 might have fixed rear seats, which saved another 30 pounds or so compared to fold down rear seats.
