@Ziggy99: The 760 was the first of the BMWs to actually get the 8 speed tranny... Mind you though, the 760's 8 speed is NOT the same as those found in other BMWs now as it has a higher torque rating (to match the output of the twin turbo 6.0L V12).

Also, the Active Hybrid 7 had the 8 speed from the beginning as well.

IIRC, the 5 series GT was next in line with the 8 speed transmission.

The 7 series LCI will get the same 8 speed transmission as the one found in the F10 550.
