This is confusing. Maybe it is due to some options that come default in Europe and are not part of the US default specification (for MT), but are partially added once you pick the DCT.

Hope someone has more insight on this.
According to official BMW European specs, the DCT is 89lbs heavier than the 6MT. Yet, US specs show DCT only 55lb heavier than the 6MT. Hence my 34lb...

Also according to EU specs, the M3 is 51lbs heavier than thr M4, yet the M4 is only 10lbs lighter according to US specs...
