Is the ZF 8AT heavier than the DCT? Are there any carbon fiber parts like trunk and hood? CF driveshaft? I am sure the car will be a better performer than in the past but that is a serious weight gain... and it will be felt in every day driving. Coming from my M2C, an AWD 8AT G80 would feel like a boat and probably take away from the experience. At 3800 lbs, a C63s (if you do not track the car) becomes a more reasonable option than ever.

Why would you be expecting 3,700lbs for the AWD version when we have known since early 2019 that the M340xdrive is a few pounds shy of 4,000lbs. Seems unlikely that they would have cut 300lbs from the M340.
