Safety aids are all still active, just less intrusive. Obviously not a good idea to use sport+ on an icy day

Sport can be configured, I drive in Sport Chassis only all the time, tightens up the suspension and steering without changing gearbox settings.

Great to see how a modern car can do sport AND wafting with a click of a button Just a note, the standard steering also tightens up with mode change, so not necessary to have the VSS option to get this. |

This is true BUT it's not configurable and that makes a lot of difference.

With "adaptive" you get the option of configuring the Sport mode, so when you select sport the main screen (if it's ticked to show) changes from whatever mode showing eg: Navigation/music etc too Sport settings, once their you can select chassis only which switches out gearbox changes and leaves you with tighter steering and suspension ONLY.

Pretty sure you get that screen in all cars, of course if you don't have adaptive suspension it can't turn that on.
It is a shame you can't have a user defined mode that you get in some other marques. |

Another question for the F30/1 with adaptive suspension. How are you finding the difference to the steering feel, when you have just 'drivetrain' configured, compared to 'drivetrain and chassis', when running in sport mode? Has anyone tried it with only the drivetrain configuration? Not the normal way I know, but just for how it feels.
Wondering if it is the same as my 5-series. There is more feel to the steering with both configured, not more weighting but definitely more steering feel and road feedback. Really it is expected, as the suspension is stiffer and that is a contributor to road feel. I've tried it just to see what feel we get from the different parts of the adaption features. Normally I'd be the other way, just the 'chassis' configured and leave the 'drivetrain' to be adapted by me, with the stick when I want it. HighlandPete |

Or do you mean even more options, like steering, throttle, transmission, chassis... all as individual functions, which we can 'pick and mix' from? HighlandPete |

With Audi you get a 'personal setting' button where you can mix and match whatever you like and are able to have sport steering mode with soft suspension, etc. Things that you can't seperate out in BMW. Last edited by NISFAN; 11-15-2012 at 04:22 AM.. |
