Sure, but since BMW talks about a weight in kilogrammes and they are a German company, I suspect they are talking about the EU weights.
And as I understand the US weight of 3704lbs, that is the curb weight
with the DCT wheras the EU weight is with manual (20kg difference). Add the extra 10% of fuel (US has a full tank) and the 1675kg (EU weight for DCT with 90% fuel and driver) and 1681kg (US weight of 3704lbs with 100% fuel, driver and DCT) makes sense. The extra 10% of fuel probably accounts for the 6kg difference between a EU DCT at 1675 and a US DCT at 1681kg.
Deduct the 20kg for the DCT and you end up at 3484lbs (1581kg) US weight WITH driver, or 3318lbs (1506kg) US weight WITHOUT driver!
So, a US
manual M4 without driver and with
90% fuel should also weigh in at 1500kg
