Hi ..
I have got a 116i Sport with the 8 speed auto box...
No I find it totally fine as long as not driven in ECO PRO mode it kills the throttle way to much for the auto box.. In fact I was quote surprised how well it does actually drive as my previous car was a 523i auto.. For short distance or long it seems a very good setup, a massive improvment on the previous 1 series setup.. The MPG is around 40mpg after about 1500 miles...
