comfort sport confusion

so. I always leave my car in comfort and press sport when I want to quickly overtake
BUTsometimes in comfort it becomes hard to predict when i need an overtake.
BUT im worried if always in sport that the car will adapt to driving slower ie throttle lag.
Am I wrong in using this approach.
Only reason I'm always in comfort is I fear when I need sports it may be laggy as its learnt my usual peaceful driving :

You break the driver influenced adaptations every time you switch off. Starts afresh each start up. Plus you do the same, (break the adaptations) when you switch on the fly.

Remember there are two real time adaptations going on, driver and driving environment influenced.

BTW, when you "press sport" to overtake, I assume you mean the modes toggle. For overtaking you can simply flick the shifter to M/S, wake the gearbox up immediately. Then flick back to D as you complete the manoeuvre.

All sport throttle does is make the response non-linear so less pressing does more. You don't get any more power with sport over comfort -- you just need to press a bit deeper into the petal before it does something.

If you get BM3, it will solve the comfort issue with just a ton more fun power.
