I was looking at 535s at lunch and noticed that all of them have the comfort/sport button without the dynamic damper control option. What does this feature do and how is it different from the DDC option?
Through the I drive. There should be A setting for sport mode. Select chassis only, instead of chassis and drivetrain.I have a 2013 535i M-sport. How do you reprogram the Sport mode to only adjust the shocks and not the (higher) transmission shift points?
It does highlight the suspension area no matter what options you have. This does not mean it adjusts it. It only adjusts the steering. If you do not have the comfort plus setting, you cannot adjust the suspension.We have DDC only in our 2013 F10. When I go from comfort to sport, or sport+, the center display highlights the steering, transmission and suspension areas. Because of this indication on the display, I would say with DDC, the dampers also stiffen up as well.
Any one with a 2013 without DDC, please select sport or sport+ and tell us whether the display highlights the suspension area.
I'd be very surprised if that is the case. In my 2012 you most definitely can tell it to leave the transmission alone in sport mode (but not sport plus). I don't see them changing that. But I have found that it took me literally several months to find some menus that were not where I expected them to be. You might want to look some more if you are trying to get sport mode to only change the suspension and not the transmission.On my 2013 M-sport, once you select sport mode, the i-drive screen shows in red what is affected. This is no option to do anything further...after searching all over the i-drive for about an hour yesterday. You cannot tell it to leave the transmission alone.
