Ok so I have a 2013 535i M-sport with the M-sport suspension, and it has the rocker switch the switches between Eco Pro, Comfort, and Sport....there's no Sport +. My question is, when you switch from Comfort to Sport, should I notice a difference in the weight or feeling of the steering? I tried it MANY times and I can not tell a difference between the two.

Any info on this guys?

Could it be the passive M-sport suspension doesn't alter steering feel between the two?

Thanks

It should do but I've found its only detectable (at least by me) ay higher speeds. Around town I can't tell the difference.
It does feel a little odd and artificial to me.

I'm also surprised you have no sport+ mode (which is sport plus putting dsc into the dtc mode)
Is this a change to recent models?

Why don't you have Sport +? My 2013 M Sport RWD has it. The only performance related Option I have is SAT. Is that required to get Sport +?

I've been asking the question about steering as well. Seems around town there is no difference, but at higher speeds there is a difference. Sometimes on the freeway I feel like I notice a big different in steering, and sometimes I feel like it's all in my head, lol. I think technically there is indeed a difference though, detectable at higher speeds.

Hi,

Reaaally. Didn't know that, thanks! Another good reason why SAT is a MUST!

My 535 isn't an M-Sport, but there is a distinct increase in the firmness of the steering when you switch between Comfort+, Comfort & Sport. It's not a huge change, and it's more apparent at higher speeds, but even on suburban roads there is a noticeable difference.

Good info, thank you!

Question... about my 2013 550 drive

What is SAT?

I have Sport+ but I don't have Eco Pro

[dmontg]

No Eco on the 550. SAT is sport auto tranny, shift paddles, 8 speed.

A lot of acronyms here.

try to go on speed bumps. Comfort+ should make the car feel like bounces more. Sport should make the car firm and tight. I did this and there's a big difference.

Hhmmm

To add
I have all modes from from Eco pro to sport+ but not SAT

May be I do because I have the M package 2013, Dec 14 2012 build date.
