Agree - the 8-spd ZF in my M240i is excellent. So much smoother than the 7-spd DCT was in my 135is (yet shifts just as fast) and so much faster than the 6MT in my M235i. After having driven manuals for 25 yrs, I now get more joy out of the new paddle-shift autos than manual (and I use the paddles 100% of the time).

I can't imagine anyone who has driven the 8-spd ZF call it a bad transmission.
