Sport Mode vs. Shifter in Sport
What exactly is the difference when I have the car in Sport Mode (Drivetrain & Chassis) and the shifter in standard vs. Sport Mode (Chassis ONLY) and the shifter in sport?

Shifter in sport makes the car shift quicker and hold gears longer in all drive modes.

There are two different sport settings.
Driving mode in Sport (as opposed to Comfort or Eco Drive) changes to a different engine map that makes it a little more aggressive. It also stiffens up adaptive suspension and makes the MPPSK growl more. When you put the shift lever in sport position, it shifts quicker and holds the gear longer, as Blubaron79 said. It also keeps the tranny in manual mode if you're using paddle shifters (although it will still upshift if you redline it). Quote:

Here's the details
DVC put this together (originally posted at http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...postcount=68): I've tested the different combinations and found the transmission and chassis info correct.

For instance, in really congested, slow moving traffic (think of the approach to a construction zone, or passing an accident), having the transmission stay in a lower gear increases engine braking and makes more torque available for pulling away from a stop. |

Very interesting. So would you say, straight line speed... DSC off gives same or different performance as Sport+? Ie where would you be trying to post a fast 0-60 time? I ask this because (with DSC OFF) I notice the lack of throttle advancement you claim, but also notice a Much harder launch just mashing brake then throttle right before going.
Thoughts? |

In DSC off the throttle uses the comfort map so you have more control of the wheels if they break loose. Without DSC off sport/sport+ use a fast map. Does not make the car faster or slower just more easy to manage. The E-LSD is also active regardless of what gear you are in to help the launch. What I like is it does not seem to pull the power out from under you when you get some slippage.
