8 speed in F10 feels lazy in normal mode, and too many quick upshifts and it is tuned for fuel economy, 8 speed has too be in sport mode to feel the power from the beginning.

6 speed auto in F10 would have felt much stronger and powerful. Most of the people who are complaining of extra weight of F10 over E60, are feeling the weight because of 8 speed transmission vs 6 speed in E60.

8 speed in 7 series would make it even more heavy in normal mode.

I love my 8 speed transmission, it has great fuel economy, smoothness, quietness and when needed has power too
