Poll: Who has customized their Sport driving mode?
If you have customized the Sport mode configuration, what changes did you make? Also, the manual says you can have separate configurations for each remote - does anyone do this and then grab the remote that fits your mode mood?

Sport Chassis
Normal Drivetrain The way I commute for the most part. Otherwise DSC off in every other scenario.

beside, chassis and drivetrain activations through I-drive and DSC OFF button are you saying there are other ways to configure SPORT MODE (+) ?
I do wish there were a button on the steering wheel, where you could switch on and off the SPORT CHASSIS setting at the flick of a switch. |

Sport chassis, Comfort throttle. With my Dinantronics tune,Comfort has decent throttle response. It's better than the factory setting. However, I drive in Sport Plus+ most of the time.

I prefer the stiff suspension (Sport Chassis), linear throttle response (Normal Drivetrain) and less restrictive nannies.
Easiest way to achieve this: DSC OFF. Holding down that button for 3 seconds is part of my startup procedure.

I've set my sport mode as follows:
Sport Chassis Normal Drivetrain In this mode I can pull the shift lever to the left (in Canada) to engage Sport mode, which if I understand correctly sets the drivetrain to Sport. This way most of my driving benefits from the higher gears being selected for better fuel economy while still retaining stiffer suspension/heaver steering and allows easy access to full Sport mode thru the shifter. |

I tried sport mode chassis, regular drivetrain and didn't like it. On my 135is the throttle was pretty jittery in sport mode, discernibly different but I don't mind the difference (on the M240i) and prefer the better response.
What I'm not so fond of is that the 8AT holds gears a long time even under very moderate throttle when the lever is to the left. And if I do get on it briefly, like to dart around someone, then it holds the gear a long time after I back off. I suppose it's assuming I'm running a tight course and is trying to hold the right gear. And the thing I miss most about the 135? The DCT. That's a marvelous trans.
