The sport automatic is the best coding you can do for your car imo. Not only are the shifts faster in every mode including comfort, but the gear changes are so much more responsive. In Sport mode the tranny feels like a DCT with a nice jolt every time you up shift with WOT. It boggles my mind why this programming is not default on a BMW.

In other words, code your auto transmission and see what it's all about if you haven't yet!
The whole point, at least I thought, of having a torque converter was to make it not feel like a DCT. I have driven a few sport autos and I don't get any "jolt" that you speak of.. But I do agree the sport auto shifts faster than the non.
