Sports+ mode
Is there a Sports+ mode?
According to this review http://www.expressandstar.com/motori...r-to-the-spot/ you get the Sports+ mode if you have the Sport Automatic Transmission and/or Variable Sport Steering. Can any one confirm if this is true? Last edited by M-Nick; 02-10-2016 at 05:23 AM.. |

TBH I never use it on the F10, I generally just use sport when I want the higher shift points from the auto box or knock the gear lever over into sport mode...

From what I understood when I asked my sales rep before placing my order, THE ONLY difference between sport automatic and regular automatic is the paddle shifters. Software is exactly the same. I opted to save myself the £200!!
Your link doesn't seem to work. But this is the first time I'm hearing that sport auto and VSS combo ads Sport+. |

I have the sport auto and my sales guy told me that the only difference is just the peddle shifting including it programming which has a smart way to control the gearbox as they do react with how you use the throttle and the car goes to sport mode even without changing the mode button. I do really like those peddles and the way the gearbox reacts to it.

I dont think I would use this mode very often, but I got curious if the sports+ mode really existed on the X1 since i ordered mine with SAT, VSS and EDC, and i never seen anything about the sports+ mode in any documentation.
But in this review they mention it several times. |

We'll have to wait for someone with the combo to confirm. I watched the whole video and noticed a few mistakes (LED headlights aren't standard with SE for example). But you're right, he mentioned Sport+ a few times. So can't be a mistake.

Just had a look at the BMW drivers guide I have on my mobile. Looking at the X1 there is nothing in there about Sport+ mode at all
For reference I checked my M235i that does have Sport+ and the difference between sport and sport+ is that in sport+ mode the DSC is turned off. Apparently the X1 does have launch control though....

Yes, I do have all the options, but I've not read anything about a Sports+ mode, which I have on my F20, where it is intended for use when you want maximum traction by engaging the e-diff. Probably unnecessary on an AWD.

We have a X! 2016 20i Xdrive and We have the Sports AT Transmission, and there is no Sports+ Mode, only paddle shifters.
