The SMG transmission was 105.5 pounds. The E46 6MT tranmission was 101.4 pounds, a marginal difference of 4.1 pounds.

That is NOT the case anymore as the 8AT is substantially heavier than the 6MT (not sure we have confirmation on actual weights yet, someone more knowledgeable than me may chime in).

Also, the AWD system is substantially heavier than the RWD system. Since it's safe to say the CSL will be focused on weight, it will likely be RWD. Since the RWD ONLY comes in 6MT I am making an inference in saying it "COULD" be a RWD 6MT.

EDIT: RWD is also 8AT, I forgot non-6MT drivers exist lol.
