I know my e36 auto has 4 speeds and putting it into sport will only allow you to reach 3rd gear. It never actually goes into fourth. Regardless of how fast you are going. That must be why I typed 3rd gear in the previous post.
It sure seems to me in my 02 4.4 that it holds 4th gear and will not go into 5th regardless of speed if it is in auto/sport mode. If I am going too fast for 4th gear in sport mode on the highway (which has happened  ) I typically knock the shifter back to the right to get regular mode and 5th gear. I am going to have to leave it in 4th and see what happens next time. |
04+ models have a 6-speed, and your car will upshift when you're at a certain RPM in 4th b/c 4th only goes to about 120
