NEED HELP! Sport Mode Configuration

Ballzilla · 09-21-2012, 06:08 PM

Hey Guys,

Why doesnt my 2012 550i xdrive M Sport have the option in Sport Mode to choose configuration? It does not show the configuration optin in IDrive.

My friend has a 2011 and he has this option.

Thanks!

i think this must have been a software change. I tested a 2011 msport (uk version) with just the standard msport suspension and this allow you change the sport mode so you tailor chassis and or drivetrain. So in terms of chassis that just amounted to the slightly heavirer steering on thsi model as you couldn't chnage anything with the suspension even though the graphics on teh screen might imply you could. perhaps thats why it was changed as it was misleading.
my 2012 msport (again with standard msport passive suspension) does give you the option to tailor anything in sport mode so I've hidden it from appearing on the screen every time I change driving mode.

I'd love to have the heavier steering all the time but hey ho!
