I coded in 2TB (Sport Auto Trans) on my POS 320i and I can tell you with the JB4, that little ZF 8 Speed is the best transmission I've owned. It's shifts quite quick for an "entry level" BMW.
With that, after driving a DCT GT-R and M3, I really love the near instant gratification of the DCT gear changes, but I can't knock on the ZF too much for where it stands in the lineup.
I actually sold my previous car due to the transmission, I was making about 500HP on a G8, but the auto trans (6L80E) was the sloppiest thing in the world. With the OEM torque converter it felt so loose, so I'm curious where they want to take the technology with torque converting and making it feel tight and European with quick gear shifting that doesn't feel sloppy.
