Defaulting to Sport mode - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

scou3821 · 08-05-2012, 03:48 AM

Has anyone discovered if there is a way to default to Sport mode each time the engine starts? The manual suggests this is possible (it says it's a setting which can be saved to a key profile).

The manual says that you can adjust Sport mode settings via the Settings menu option (at around page 102). However my car only has an ECO PRO mode option in the Settings menu and no Sports option.

The manual does contain a disclaimer that the car may not behave as per the manual, though. But I'd appreciate any feedback. Maybe I am doing something wrong...

If you

in the General forum you'll find numerous threads on the issue and the big coding thread by Svache.

In short, no you can't unless you fiddle with the coding.

The settings for each mode can be saved to a profile, assuming you have a menu option for that mode to begin with. As mentioned, you can't save a default driving mode.

I realise now that's what the manual was trying to tell me.
