Why?
I am comparing DCT to DCT model - and there the F8x weight saving doesn't shine!
And to your first response regarding "equally equipped cars":
I have read the test of Sport Auto (which I linked) and saw all the photos of the test. The E92 M3 in this test was already "fully optioned":
I.e.:
- DCT
- Big Navi&/Audio
- PDC
- 19 Inch and adaptive dampers

So imho - there is no option missing, which adds significantly weight!

I stay to my statement:
Comparing equally equipped F8x to E9x M3 WITH DCT, there is no huge weight saving visible!
Yes you are comparing DCT to DCT but when you do your math the actual weight posted was for a 6MT f80. Not the actual weight of a DCT f80. If I am incorrect, I apologize but that is what it looks like.
