My 328i (with ZF 8) definitely has some compared to the videos I have seen of guys with 8L90s. Especially on downshifts but it's also very dependent on throttle input on how fast it reacts. The 6th gen I test drove (with had been on the lot for awhile) was definitely slower. But how much of that is do to adaptive abuse I don't know. Hopefully if my car arrives in July, I'll be able to test both back to back multiple times.
