Comments by "IKhan" (@7477238) on "The World's Best Automatic Transmission - How Autos Became Cool Again" video.
Just get an older F30 BMW (with good maintenance history of course). They come with the ZF 8 speed though I believe it depends on the vehicle but the programming might vary from model to model.

So far they've proven to be very reliable. Change the fluid every 40k miles and they last and last. These transmissions are way better than Mercedes Benz's 7 G Tronic transmission which is not only lazy but not as durable as other ATs.

"Best" is subjective. In some aspects the Powerglide will be better but for today's transmission needs which are smoothness, efficiency, wide range of use and durability transmissions like the ZF 8 speed is brilliant. It just depends on the need. Chuck a Powerglide in this BMW and it won't do as good as it could.
