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.
It's seemmingly people are comparing 8sp vs. 6sp, which is not the question of the original thread. I also awaiting for more information about 8sp on X35i. I will order X1 X35i immediately once 8sp is available. I can wait for one more year, if it's won't happen I propably go with X1 s28i. I am guessing that they will update the transmission in next couple months once all 6sp transmissions are used up...
