I cant believe how you guys can say the ZF 8-Speed is better than the Aisin 8-Speed without driving the car once. Wait for the reviews or take a test drive and then draw conclusions. Until then no one can say which transmission is better.

On another note, IMO the engine downgrade is indeed a bummer. Cant believe they did that. They should have tuned the engine to have the same power at least, if the N20 can do it i dont see why the new B48 can't. No bueno!
They should offer more engine options, at least a tuned B48 since they can't fit an I-6 in there. (Maybe they could fit an I-6 but given the market this car is targeted to, i dont think they will put the resources to make it happen which is fine)

Design wise, i prefer the new X1 exterior and interior over the old one EXCEPT for the shifter. That thing looks cheap compared to what we are used to see after all these years in BMWs.
