Wow, so now all the BMW guys who said "Bah Zee Lexus 8 speed is overkill" should jump into the Grand Canyon with no parachute.
Its probably a GM unit anyway, no? BMW uses GM trannies and they are excellent in BMWs.
I think for a car like the LS/7, it works. I do find it overbearing in the IS-F.

Also, I was hoping for more MPG improvement. We didn't get that either.

I know I read that before too. Maybe in a review. And of course they had to somehow find a way to put down Lexus. Like the 7-series isnt a land yacht either (as well as the transmission being available in the much smaller IS-F). Just report the news dammit.
LOL...I think he was trying to spell the Aisin. The company that supplies the 8-speed auto for the LS and IS-F.
