I find all this sport, sport+ just strange.
On my car with sports automatic i have the following modes: Eco Comfort Sport Sport+ If I have any other mode than Comfort mode enabled, and I disable ESP, it will return to Comfort mode. What is the reasoning behind this? Is Comfort mode and gear lever to S same as Sport+? I also can't understand why Sport and Sport+ allows the car to turn off the engine. Only way of stopping it it is Sport mode on the gear box. |

Who gets SPORT+ and COMFORT + modes on their cars? Does this come with the M Sport package only?
And what is the difference between SPORT and SPORT + modes? |

As I understand it COMFORT+ only comes with the active dampers.
SPORT+ is the same as SPORT but some of the "safety" features disabled so you can spin the wheels if you want!! I have SPORT+ on my M Sport but not the COMFORT+ |

I have Variable Damper Control + Sport Automatic Transmission on my 2012 SE and I have the following five drive modes:
- Eco Pro - Comfort+ - Comfort - Sport - Sport+ As eskdale wrote, Sport+ restricts the DSC.

I don't have Sport+, but as I understand it, I could mimic SPORT+ by changing to SPORT mode and turning off DSC?

Can you disable dsc and still be in sport? My car allways returns to comfort mode if i touch that button.

I have driven my new 535i for 3 days now. Really hate the start/stop auto stop function. Restart of the car is not that seamless and it is a pain to feel the car restart even at a stop sign!!! Really need to find a way to disable it permanently!!!

Sport+ is not the same as sport with the dsc off. In sport+ its restricted. So it will let you play, but will help out when you start to slide. If you push the dsc button and keep it inn for a few seconds, you can turn it completely off. It's a big difference.

I actually think the feature is great, but the execution sucks. I appreciate the car stopping at long traffic lights, but do not like when it stops at a stop sign, or when I am waiting to turn, in stop and go traffic, or when I am car number 8 at a stop sign creeping forward slowly. As with all new technologies, this one will get perfected over time as well. We are just the early (forced) adopters. On the other hand, the mpg on my F10 seems to get better with every tank. I am going to get close to 430 miles on this tank with very mixed freeway/local road/stop and go driving. Could never get this with my e46 under the same conditions |

Great thread. Learned a lot about this feature so i'll be ready when i get my F10.
I can't imagine myself liking this though. Every bmw i've own makes a rumble when it starts up so I can't imagine feeling that over and over again everytime the car stops. Is there a certain threshold that you have to be stopped for X seconds before the motor turns off? My concern is that we have freeway entrances here that basically requires you to almost launch yourself into high speed traffic quickly and sometimes you have to crawl to it if there are other cars doing the same. It would be pretty stupid if the car would turn off the motor 10x before its my turn to merge and just to have a slight delay when i need full power immediately. Alan

I thought the the stop/start didn't switch the engine off if you are indicating or the wheels are turned as it knows that you may need to pull out in a hurry.
I am still waiting for my delivery so can't confirm this but please let me know your experiences. |

I actually wish the feature would be disabled if I had my turn signal (indicator) on, that would be cool, |
