Definitely. Enjoy it more and more everyday. It was my first AT BMW tho; my past ones were manual; so the whole BMW auto tranny thing was new to me.

It felt like the 6mt and the 8at have two completely different behaviors. The 6MT felt like my old e90, but on steroids; as the 8AT really had that euro feeling with really short speeds and snappy throttle / paddle response. You still get 95+% of the control you have on the MT; thanks to the paddles and quick shifts. But performance wise, a human being will never be able to shift that quick lol. This really is the first 5-digits-car AT transmission I drive that is worth mentionning.
