I’m always in comfort with my m440i. I switch back and forth through the modes to hear the exhaust tones and acceleration differences. I just turned 300 miles on the new car. The only quirk I have is the artificial exhaust sounds piped through the speakers. I set that to reduced but it’s still live under hard acceleration. Another great video here. Your the reason I bought my new bmw here. Mine is in San remo green. Sport plus is fun, but a little too aggressive for me.

Another great thing about Eco Pro for anyone who lives anywhere you get snow, ice etc. is that it dampens the throttle so that when you press it down the car takes a little longer to get up to speed. In low traction situations it helps you not spin up the wheels or worse when you're accelerating from a full stop.
@BeamerView Жыл бұрын
Absolutely correct! BMW does not have a snow mode but if you were looking for the next best option, eco pro is the way to go.

I bought a 2021 330i today and I learned a lot with this video. I played a bit with the different modes and I have to say that sport and sport plus modes are both very aggressive modes to drive in. It even got me scared a bit on how aggressive it is. If you go full throttle in sport plus you will notice that it will shift a little later when in sport mode. Even comfort mode is quite sporty I have to say. I really enjoy the car.

Honestly shocking how many commenters say they only drive in Eco or Comfort. You got a BMW, drive it like it’s meant to be driven-which is in Sport or Sport+. Honestly should’ve gravitated towards Mercedes, Audi, or Lexus if you’re doing anything less. I say this as a G20 M340i owner.
@MrIhateposting 11 ай бұрын
We should talk about M/S mode (engaging M/S mode that is - not the sport button, but not engaging the paddles either). In comfort, switching to S mode is the best of both worlds I find....just a bit longer with the gear changes but no auto start issue and I THINK (not 100%) but its not as aggressive with the gear changes as in the default "Sport Mode button" in regular mode (not engaging m/s). This is coming from my 2023 X1 with iDrive 8
@BeamerView 11 ай бұрын
Correct, I do love being int he M/S Mode a good amount of time, especially in those situations where I need a bit more extra power. It does also deactivate the auto/start stop as well which many will be glad to hear. It's a great mode to be in when passing vehicles or taking tight turns.
@scott5055 5 күн бұрын
Does ecopro help a decent amount with city MPG? I always debate on that vs comfort for city driving. Also , what about switching the transmission into sport ? In the x7, I tend to put it into sport mode ind, to get a stiffer suspension, but I keep the engine and transmission in comfort to save gas. This is the LCI

Good question, it should be something that is quite smooth. But I can tell a 2014 is going to have it's on share of issues now that it's almost 10 years old. If it persists the best thing would be to bring it into the shop to get it looked at.

please explain the difference in transmission modes... so to s3 and do to d3
@BeamerView 8 ай бұрын
Basically 3 different transmission modes. One is just D which is your regular drive mode. Two is S mode which is like D but the shift points are most aggressive giving you more power and responsiveness. Three. If you’re in the S mode, you can shift your paddle shifters or the gear shifter and that will bring the transmission in to M mode, which lets you shift your own gears as you wish and the vehicle will hold the gear as well.

@BeamerView Жыл бұрын
Engine being in sport would have the engine working faster of course, transmission being in comfort helps by smoothing out the shifting. Sporty shifting would have the RPMs hold higher and the Shifts would be more aggressive. xDrive vehicles have AWD on ALL the time, the vehicle will take care of it for you in the sense of which wheel needs more power diverted to it, there is not a way to keep them all equal unfortunately.
