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  |
Do you have a reliable source that the 3704 figure is with DCT? I hope you are right on that one. Here are some other interresting option weights for the E92 M3 that I found:
Sunroof: 44lbs
Power seats: ~15lbs
NAV: ~12lbs
Fold Down Seats: ~38-40lbs
Ehanced Audio: ~20lbs
EDC: ~10lbs
DCT: ~58lbs
TOTAL 197lbs
Most of these are options on the F8X as well if I understand it correctly.
