Believe me, the 8spd is much better in almost all aspects. It is lighter, shifts quicker and offers greater efficiency.
You know that the X3 is also based on the E90 platform, right? It uses a modified version of the E90's chassis and suspension with a completely different interior and exterior design philosophy so BMW can call it an F-series car.

Even the old X3 was based off of the E46.
