How about the transmission? If anyone has detailed information about the weight breakdown for the subsystems, that would be great (although I doubt that BMW would release all that at this point).

The weight I've seen with 68Kg driver, 90% fuel and 7kg luggage (EU specs) is 3,483 lbs. We'll have to see what BMWNA posts. I have $100 riding on this:
