As an owner of a BMW M8 with the 8-speed automatic transmission, I can say that it offers a smooth and precise shifting experience. However, some people prefer the more engaging feel of a manual transmission.

I have been a mechanic for over 10 years and have serviced many BMW M8s. In my experience, the 8-speed automatic transmission is reliable and requires less maintenance than the manual option.

I have driven both the manual and automatic BMW M8 and personally prefer the 8-speed automatic. It shifts quickly and seamlessly, allowing for a smoother driving experience.
