And the M2C doesn't run any cooler in normal circumstances, only when racing.

I remember BMW announced that they were using the S55 b/c it complied w/some standards better. Perhaps emissions?
So it appears you are correct about MPG but in actual use by same person (me) driven in same manner there wasn't an appreciaable difference.
Yes, the M2C does run cooler on the street. My M2 and X4M40i both ran pegged at 250°F and the M2C runs around 230°F. I can pull out the M drive analyzer and get you an exact number.
Basically both are great and I enjoyed both. I enjoy the M2C more. Lastly buying an M car based on MPG is silly. You need to pay to play.
When people compare manual vs. DCT, I typically think of how damn fast the DCT shifts not 0-60MPH numbers.
