Recent M235i owner here and I have a few questions:

1. I'm coming from an E92, and I remember it took me months to find a comfortable seating position to cure this exact issue. I can't exactly replicate the seating position from my old car. In the M235i I have pain in the base of my neck after a 20 or so minutes of driving. It feels as if I can't relax into the seat (ie, my body weight won't press into the cushioning so I'm stuck holding up my neck). The lumbar is fully deflated, but I would feel more comfortable if I could deflate it even MORE. I realize this is incredibly specific, but I was hoping someone had an idea.

2. I typically find myself in one of two driving modes: "Sport" with settings active for chassis/steering and "Sport" with settings active for throttle/chassis/steering. Unfortunately, I have to go into I-drive every time I want to make this switch. I can't seem to hotkey the Driving Mode settings either. Any thoughts? I suppose I could shift up to Sport + but I'm a little nervous about losing the traction control.

I could also use "Sport" for chassis/steering and move the shifter to the left (the old D/S) mode, but I don't think that is quite that same as "Sport" with settings active for throttle/chassis/steering.

Much appreciated!

Not sure about the seats but I don't think there is a way to save Sport mode from starting every time you want to use it. I hit sport or shift into Sport+ whenever I get I. My car, it's annoying but it's not a major deal. That is not something that is saved with the key memory and if it is I haven't figured a way to do it. As far as the seat, I have mine set to my key when I get in but I'm the only person driving my car so my seat doesn't change unless I am playing around with it myself

I was actually referring to switching between Sport (chassis/steering) and Sport (chassis/steering/throttle).

Set a shortcut dash button to go to Sports display setting (or whatever is call) but this is no way an easy way to switch between modes

I set my "sport" for throttle only and if I need both chasis+throttle then I go up to "sport +"....this is the only easy way out

My 2014 doesnt have a steering only setting

Thanks for the response. I have this in place already. The closest I-drive will let you get with a preset is "Driving Modes". Then it is 3-4 more clicks on the wheel to make the change. Not the best situation when I want some immediate oomph.

Perhaps my sport + fears are overblown.

No worries on sport+ if the weather permits...the system isnt fully off

When you select Sport Mode, the central display shows the Sport screen (if activated in settings, on by default). Before the screen disappears after a few seconds, you can select the settings by pushing the iDrive button and change the Sport settings there.

Hmm have you tried folding the headrest down forward and closer to your head? the seating position takes a while... I still fine tune it every now and then
