A neighbour took me out in his 140i a few months back. Auto.
It just felt relentless in terms of acceleration.
I timed my car to 100 and with a pretty good launch managed 10.3 seconds.
I filmed/timed two ZF8s the other day, one did 9.5s, the other 9.2s.
That's a mental difference. I was expecting maybe 0.5, mine is not a slow car. Watching the speedo footage of them all side by side is painful, it looks like there's something wrong with mine!
There isn't, the ZF8 is just a masterpiece. The shorter ratios make as much difference as the faster shift speed does.
