I have to think most of the mileage credit on the 35i goes to the 8 speed but we'll never know for sure. BMW will aggressively market the engine is efficient of course.

The diesel should be kicking the gasoline engine's butt but is barely beating it. Would love to know what numbers it could get with the 8 speed even if we couldn't get it.
