The 8s is more efficient but not faster, especially since it requires another shift to hit 60. Just look at E90 vs F30 335i times.

What about them?
2011 BMW 335i Sedan 0-60 mph 4.7 Quarter Mile 13.4
2012 BMW 335i Sedan 0-60 mph 4.6 Quarter Mile 13.1
I haven't spent much time in an E90, but everything I've read suggests the sport auto in the F30 is faster not just more efficient. And comparing 0 to 60 times without considering the F30 is a much bigger car hardly says anything about the transmission, one way or the other. Plenty of other factors.
