6 speed vs 8 speed

Just read a test of the mdl 12 RRS and the performance figures where no better than the 6 speed box,in fact the car was slightly slower. Reminds me of my first 4 speed 2.8 injection capri,it was much faster than the 5 speed i replaced it with. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Do you have a link to the test
I didn't drive the 6 speed when I got mine, but I'm pretty sure the performance figures I've seen say 'on paper' that the 8 speed has better performance. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

On paper there is next to nothing in it, in realalty the 8 speed is much smoother.

The FFRR has the 4.4 engine, iam not talking about that. I dont have the link as it was in a european mag, but for sure its no faster , and i doubt its smoother as they six speed is really smooth as well. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.
