I havent driven in sport+ yet as Im still in breakin period.

Has anyone actually driven in S+? Whats your impression on it?

[DanG]

I have driven in sport quite a bit but not in sport + yet.

[Killramos]

It's great. Feels a bit tighter than sport though I haven't heard any confirmation it's different than sport.

I use it near exclusively.

[pikcachu]

difference between sport and sport + is just that DSC is disabled in sport +

I drove home from work in the rain today. The best fun I've ever had driving home from work! It's not the best for traffic and stop/start traffic, but on country roads or on the weekend Sport+ howls!

[kerm1t]

no difference. been driving sport + since day 1

[Bahuba]

All the time. The one thing I've noticed it is harder to break the backend loose when compared to my 135. I have both cars still and my 135 has the same PSS tires.

Sorry to ask if it has been mentioned but does BMW recommend no Sport+ during break in?

I've not seen any guidance to that effect. I've been in Sport and Sport+ during break-in... just not gunning it or taking the revs too high. Also trying to avoid longer bouts of cruise control.

I have M235i 6MT and drive almost exclusively in "Sport+". The main reason is because I can rev-match quicker due to more responsive throttle. I am surprised by the exhaust drone in "Sport+" though (because the engine is considerably louder than in "Comfort"). In fact Nissan Versa POS I rented was much more quiet than this $50.000+ luxury coupe.

All day every day. Don't be scared. Any other mode is reduced performance. Why spend all that money and then tame it. If you're on rough roads or trying to get max mpgs that's different.

I would hope it's more quiet!! Economical vs a sports coupe. That exhaust on the 235 was meant to be heard. Because it's 50k, you get that beautiful sound. That's the first I've heard of drone though. That's not usually perfered..

[2msport]

I really don't see how sport+ would affect break in. It's not like the engine operates so differently it's damaging it. It's all about RPMs and how high they are which would be operater error. But what happens below 4.5k is all good.

You know I remember reading that on the forum before getting my car. But after driving it for 4k miles I'm convinced the throttle response is better, steering is tighter, the digital sound is louder and possibly the suspension is a tad stiffer. In short. I notice a difference between sport and sport+ every time.

[Wheelwright]

Based on responses here I see many people still don't understand "Chassis Only", "Drivetrain Only" and "Both" selectable options in Sport mode. No wonder BMW doesn't offer a better, more configurable system.

[jbenderhof]

I configured sport to be drivetrain only, and have sport+ as both drivetrain and chassis. Also MT, only heal toe in sport or sport+ due to throttle reponse, easier to blip.

There is no difference between sport and sport+ related to engine or chasis setting... only difference is DSC goes off and DTC goes on in sport +

Don't want to sound like an a-hole... but i think it's just your imagination...

throttle, shift points, suspension are the same between sport and sport +

sport+ is always drivetrain and chassis because it is not configurable

Case in point why BMW has to water down those systems. And you actually drive M235i ?

[rickinaz]

As previously mentioned, there is no difference between Sport and Sport + except the disablement of DSC. Any other sensations are just in your mind. If you are not on a track, and not an expert driver (with instincts that surpass the programmer's nanny settings), you may wish that the DSC was enabled if something unforeseen happens. But...that's just me.
