I agree, I used to be skeptical about the 8 speed, but I'm becoming more open to the idea, at least in a diesel. I feel like it would match the characteristics of the engine more than if it were mated to a gasser.
Another point to ponder is whether the engine output is accurate. Dynos suggest our 335d's are already producing around 300hp at the crank. So is this new engine really making more power or is it just more accurately rated?
