I feel bad for the people who don't buy sport auto because they didn't know any better. I could have easily done that with my first BMW. |
Sadly I am one of them!
It's frustrating because so little information was available in the UK when I ordered and I mistakenly thought that the only difference was the paddle shifters. Having barely used them on my Audi I figured it was a waste of money.
Plus, assuming the sports auto is faster (and BMW are suitably vague on whether or not it really is), I cannot understand why given that the hardware is identical. That would require then to intentionally slow the shifts & shift pattern. I would have hoped that in Sport mode the shifts would be identical for both gearboxes.
If not, I would be interested in the possibility of installing the sports auto software, certainly more than I would care about the shift leaver design.
