The homepage doesn't directly say.

And as I don't understand how the EPA figures are tested (for me every day a new hint comes up but I haven't solved the puzzle yet) only an assumption can be made: 26 for the DCT, 24 for the manual.
Why? Because of the EU ratings where DCT uses .5 liters less than the MT.

And I know that could be the wrong comparison... if that is the case I'm sorry!
One more hint: The M5 states 20 MPG on the BMWUSA, and according to the fueleconomy.gov, this is the figure for the DCT. So if I use that as measurement, the 26 should count for the DCT at M3/4 as well.
