Transmission and "Sport Mode" Question

BimmerBoomer · 04-25-2014, 10:45 PM

Nice DVC. Could you add a column for 8th gear unavailable?

@RPM90 and @DVC, thanks for these posts, really helpful.

As I mentioned above, I have yet to notice the impact M/S Mode has on shifts whilst in Sports or Sports+ mode. Shame on me

Still, something new to try out today

I created a table (attached to post #68) which covers all the relevant parameters...

Thank you

Good work...

Now add in the dynamic factors of chassis and drivetrain strategy and no wonder users are experiencing what appear to be conflicting or confusing factors.

I think we need a few of our German forum members, who use the autobahn, to "officially confirm" what speeds 8th gear engages in the Sport and M/S modes.

All I know is that I've really neglected Eco Pro and Comfort modes. I feel like we've lost touch.

The other thing I've noticed is that, in comfort mode, if you disable DSC completely, the steering stiffens up. But the throttle and transmission aren't affected.
