I can understand it in sport modes, but in normal mode? The blurb from BMW in the brochure says it improves efficiency....
Any experiences out there before I regret ordering the sport auto box and end up with far less mpg?

You won't regret ordering the Sports Auto, my car has done less than a 1000miles and it's doing over 45mpg and although I have been running it in I still like to get a move on. I also think that the standard auto changes gear to early putting more wear on a new engine by causing it to labour. I tend to use sports setting (gear selector to left)to get up to speed (changes at around 2000rpm on light throttle) then switch back to standard to get 8 gears when cruising.
