BMW will likely debut the new gearbox in their premium 7-Series sedan and the X6 Sport Activity Vehicle

will we see this in the new F10?

The dumbest thing I have seen lately is Lexus putting the 8-speed gearbox in the IS-F.

There is a video of Scott Pruett hustling the IS-F around Laguna Seca, he never even uses 7th gear, let alone 8th.
