I see it as the M400 will make highway cruising just as comfortable (or uncomfortable) as it is now with the BW35. Both have a 1:1 ratio in top gear.
Being an automatic though, the BW35 may rev slighly higher from inherent slip.

In any case, the swap from automatic to manual is well worth the effort. I have done it on two 140s. It changes the whole character of the car for the better in my opinion.
