Msport models should have had firmer/increased spring rates over the sport suspension. Or, to keep their costs down, both the sport and Msport should have been firmer than they are. 15-20% firmer would have made things better. |

Braking power is great, but feel and feedback are lacking. And then there's the loud 'thunk' when you release the brake pedal too quickly and it slaps back against it's stop. |

DTC is called a "subfunction" of DSC in F30 speak. |

Originally, I sold the M3 so I could buy two cars. My plan was lease an F30 and buy a used 997.1 Carrera S or 987.1 Cayman S, but after 6 months with the F30, it's still my only car. I will no doubt return to something sporty soon, but I am very impressed with this car. ...Now only if the brake pedal wasn't so mushy! That's not really what I want to hear. It's odd because I've driven all three tiers of E90s (328i base, 335i ZSP, M3) and found all of them to have better brake feel and feedback. Last edited by Mahzari; 12-27-2012 at 11:48 AM.. |

I just double checked when I went out today, and I can configure sport to change chassis, drivetrain, or both. I have VSS, not DHP or adaptive suspension. I'm assuming the passive suspension settings can be changed via the DES configuration, while the adaptive suspension adapts the damper to current driving/road conditions.

If you have 'sport' configured for chassis only it stiffens the front and rear roll bars, changes the damper rates and quickens the steering response. |

The quote (linked to the thread) seems to be a response to Sharbotcom who says he doesn't have DHP. http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?p=12032741 I was just checking f10 forums as highlandpete suggested and this was the first thing I found on the subject. My only point was to point out that I can configure sport mode without DHP, unlike what some people presumed. I'm sure people with DHP have more adaptive settings, nonetheless, I do have options, and, for example, being able to set sport to chassis and not drivetrain is very convenient for people who want firmer steering without aggressive throttle response in every day driving conditions. It is a good option for people who are left lukewarm by comfort and eco. Not an issue for me with my customary bumper to bumper commute, but I think I remember RPM90 saying he liked a similar setting. |
