We know exactly the transmission and it's weight compared to the 420g manual! People swap them into e46 Ms routinely for track use (largely because of the 25 lbs they save vs stock).
And this is one thread of many, just the first I pulled up. When people weight them fully dressed, the s65 is ~30 lbs heavier.
I said it's a not a lot of gain. I just like to clean up BMWs lie when possible
