I just went to the BMW website and saw you could configure the M3 with the M double clutch transmission with drivelogic ($2700).

Is this the same as DSG and has anyone seen a review of it?

Yes, that is the DSG which BMW is calling an "M DCT"

It's not an independent review but you can read more about it in the 21 page .pdf file posted here:

Quicker and significantly better fuel economy - sounds good to me.

I wonder if it can now avoid the gas guzzler tax.

Let's hope not. Guzzling gas = faster

actually, that's the German words for the M-DCT and by the way Germans pay over $6,000 for that option!
