Driving in Sport Mode
 

Hi guys! Can you tell me what difference does it make when I drive my X in Sport Mode? Should I feel more power? thanks!

Ummmm! Just a bit quicker in passing gear and a bit quicker over all acceleration. You will not feel like you are going from the X5 to a Ferrari.

Yea I just recently figured out that S in the M/S was Sport mode. Lol It jsut hold the gear longer and shifts faster but not that big of a difference. I still like it the revs go so high and the exhuast note is awesome.

try it with paddle shifter if ya have it, it even for FUNNNN.And it shift even faster too.

Another difference is that it eats up $4.50 gas much faster!

yeah, at $4.50 a gallon, i'd be avoiding sport mode if i were you.

here in the UK a gallon of regular gas has hit $11.00

Interesting because I noticed that my gas mileage increased when I started using Sport mode (BMWLOVER, don't feel bad - we had our X for a few years before I found out about the Sport mode).

LOL - agree with that!.... i tried it our 'just for fun'

they should replace the "M/S" in the shifter with "$$$" to give fair warning

No, MS was right.. Money Stealer.

So basically Sport mode is turning off the overdrive?
