Question regarding driving modes.

BMW FOREVER · 12-23-2019, 01:14 AM

Hi Guys,
Have a quick question. I am, planning to purchase a 2011 535i Xdrive. Now it has the CIC navigation which shows the following modes..Comfort, Normal, Sports and Sport Plus.
I understand that the newer F10 have Comfort+ and Comfort instead of Normal and Comfort.
I am planning to get the I-Step of the car updated to the latest version. Will this change the modes to comfort+ and comfort? Or please advise how to I change it to the latest modes. Thanks!!

My 2015 has Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport, and Sport+

I believe the Eco Pro is the Comfort+ you're talking about. Upgrading the i-step will most likely update the text.

No..comfort plus is a separate mode..only cars with the Dynamic damping control and/or active roll stabilization have that (adaptive suspension).

I've never been in one with the DDC module, so I assumed comfort plus was just an old eco pro. Thanks!

What mode buttons you have are dependent on how the car is optioned.
While I-Step upgrades may change the naming convention, which I doubt, ( I also highly recommend you avoid unless needed) without the supporting hardware it is pointless.

My car does not have Eco Pro but it has Normal and comfort currently as it has the dynamic damping control and it also has sport and sport plus.

I think in 2012, they added eco pro. My 2012 with damper control is eco pro, comfort, comfort +, sport and sport +.
