spiezen Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I am unfamiliar with BMW and have no prior experience in coding. Is it possible to program the vehicle so that engaging the gear selector into sport mode instantly transitions the car into sport driving mode? I cannot recall a scenario in which I would like expedited changes without also seeking enhanced throttle response; thus, it would be advantageous to simply switch the gear selector to sport mode to optimise performance for overtaking manoeuvres. Alternatively, am I incorrectly utilising the drive mode selector? When I engage the sport mode via the button, the throttle response appears enhanced, and the gearbox downshifts. However, I assume it is also necessary to convert the gearbox to sport mode for optimal performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGreedy Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Simply activate the sports mode by pressing the button; no further action is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiezen Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago It certainly impacts my 435d. Activating sport mode via the button results in a gear reduction. When I shift the gear selector to sport mode, it downshifts by one further gear. I have also attempted various 0-60 times, as I have recently acquired the car and am experimenting with it. In sport mode with the standard gearbox, I achieved approximately 6 seconds. In sport mode, the gearbox reduced the times to approximately 5 seconds.

spiezen Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Is that due to the impossibility of accomplishing it with Bimmercode, among other tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiezen Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago It is logical. I maintain low revolutions until the engine reaches optimal temperature, but I desire the ability to swiftly transition to peak performance when necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motoman Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Bimmercode does not facilitate any tuning as you desire. The remark on the "visit tuner shop" suggests that a remap may be desired for enhanced performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
