The S3 is DSG only too, so BMW should have that in their favor (if slower, less efficient and cheaper to build are really favorable). However the S3 is based on the Mk7 Golf, which is surprisingly light now, with rumors that the Golf R could even be sub 3k pounds, so no, it's not business as usual at Audi, and BMW certainly isn't known for light cars either.

Finally, the CLA45 is $48k, so confusing it with a $60k C63 is going to take a really poor mathematician. Remember that the existing E82 135is is only $2750 cheaper than the new F32 335i, so of course there won't be much separation in F22 M235i pricing and a non-optioned F32.
