I'm just curious, why at my exit relay the bandwidth is constantly around 8 MByte/sec in both directions with a 2-3% higher value for the inbound bw whereas the amount of incoming packets is 25% and more higher more than the outgoing packet amount.
And as always I do have the question in mind: Would that be helpful for an attacker ?

Some packets in and out are Tor cells, which are limited to 512 bytes. Other packets are exchanged with the wider Internet, and are likely a multiple of 512 bytes (from cells) on the way out, but can be any size (from the remove website) on the way in.
I don't think it's an issue.
