It's a nice thought to hope the active stabiliser system is already fitted and waiting for advanced software at the full option cost, but the actual hardware is a complex bit of engineeering, so that's where the option cost is.
On the consumption issue, the sport transmission setting does lock out 8th gear, so obvious it will be using more fuel, both in holding gears to higher rpm and the lack of the most relaxed cruising.
When I had my test drive I didn't think to change the configuration in i-Drive to see the differences with the autobox. So also interested to know the differences to the 'box behaviour, in sport, with different transmission configurations.
