6MT Driving Mode Experience

delvec03 · 03-30-2015, 04:57 PM

I'm looking for some information regarding the "Driving Mode Experience" for a 6MT.

In the automatic its clear that the pedal sensitivity as well as how the car shifts in is affected. But what about with 6MT? Are any other parameters changes (besides the obvious....suspension, climate settings, etc)?

What i'm thinking is that the driving mode will give you pedal sensitivity ONLY in a 6MT. Would I be wrong in this assumption?

Thoughts? Thanks!

You are correct about pedal sensitivity being the change apart from the obvious suspension/steering change, although I'm not aware of any associated climate setting changes when going from Sport to Comfort or vice-versa for any 2 Series.

From what I can tell so far, only pedal response (among suspension and exhaust stuff). Doesn't affect the clutch or anything like that. I have yet to test, but I don't know if the hill assist is affected by the mode.

As the others have mentioned. Definite increase in pedal sensitivity.

Just confirmed that hill assist is not affected by driving mode (always on).

Accelerator pedal is definitely more sensitive, but as stated before, clutch requires the the same pressure as before. I find the 6MT in this car is incredibly easy to heel/toe!
