Please note that the 8s will have to shift more often to achieve any speed. While the in gear acceleration times can be favorable and the shift speeds are quicker than the 6s, it is not enough to overcome the additional shifts required. Note that the F30 335i has shown slower 0-60 and 1/4 mile times than LCI N55 E90 335's, with the primary difference being the transmission. 6s manual tests have shown little or no performance difference.
Further, as noted in another thread, real world mileage is not showing the difference btw the 28i and 35i that the EPA would have you believe.
