8 Speed Auto on x35i Possibility/Rumors?
All,
I don't think there have been any leaks or rumors for getting the 8 speed automatic transmission on the x1 x35i model.
Has anyone heard of rumblings for a MY2014 revision to include this option? I hate to say it but it is the one thing holding me back from switching from my 2009 335i xDrive to this car. I currently have the 6 speed auto and with the new 335i having the option of the 8 speed, I find it hard to believe they wouldn't extend that to the x1. Suffice to say, I'm not as "down" on the 6 speed automatic mated to the N55 like most people, but if it's coming down the pike in a year, I can definitely hold off for it.
