"Sport" button/driving modes

[xnsf]

There's sport mode transmission, which is on all BMWs

and then there is sport mode chassis on sport package models, with the adjustible springs and the body roll thing (adaptive drive)

On mine too....
DS is "Dangerously SPECTACULAR"....!
Had it on my '06 330i and it was sooo much fun...automatically put a smile on my face....and then we get the "growling" noises of the engine.....in fact the demo 3.0 that I drove before arrival of my E70, had an AMAZING grunt in DS mode ,almost like a 4.8 !....I think that had broken in already.!

So I thought what could be better...a 3.0 and 4.8 rolled into one !

I agree, the engine sings a different song in ds.... a wondeful song!

It is more noticable. So I guess it's better.
