In the E9x M3 the difference between a M6 and DCT in EU curb weight is 20kg (1655kg/1675kg).

As others have pointed out the new F8x MT6 transmission is 12kg lighter than it's predecessor. The DCT in the F8x is the DCI700 from Getrag which is rated at 79-82kg. The DCI600 in the E9x was 79kg I believe.

So in the F8x I believe, based on the above, that the DCT version of the M3/M4 will be 32kg heavier than a MT6. And therefor possibly "only" 68kg lighter than a DCT E9x M3.
