My understanding from forums and technical info from BMW is that with the sports auto in normal mode:

- the gear changes are faster
- you can set up the DDC function to give you sharper throttle, steering and drivetrain responses.

In sport mode:

- adds allowing higher revs before gear changes - pretty much like DS on a std auto I guess
- you lose 8th gear.

In sport mode:

- all of the above plus the DSC/DTC is adjusted to allow some wheel slip, particularly at the rear


Please someone correct me if I'm wrong!
