While eco pro might not technically offer better milage when compared to comfort, since it lowers the throttle input, it thereby reduces fuel consumption while allowing similar pedal travel to comfort mode. if you want the same milage in comfort you have to essentially feather the throttle. Eco pro just makes saving fuel easier, as it's very hard to feather the throttle in these cars without wanting to let her rip.

@Planet1ish Жыл бұрын

agree with this. Eco pro is much more comfortable for me to drive. It give gradual acceleration while pressing the gas pedal, however on comfort mode, the acceleration is a bit rough for my taste. I have to keep holding my feet to not press it too hard. I havent tested the mileage difference between both mode, but eco also feels it give less road/wind noise in my opinion.

@Lordjohn007 11 ай бұрын

Eco Mode saves loads of fuel, I use my 4 series’s daily as my work car, and round town I’m getting around 49 MPG (420d)

@WasteOfTimeDude 10 ай бұрын

Do not forget thaat Eco Pro lets you coast. If you drive down hill and let off the gas it will start coasting. It will no longer engine break. If you press the gas it will then engage in a gear and start driving normaly and use the engine break. If nothing happens it goes back to coasting. So it will save extra gas on highways and going down hill. Its not just the throtle response.

Disagree. Eco pro is best in stop start traffic as it disables engine breaking allowing you to roll up to cars and use short throttle inputs. I prefer sport Manuel on motorway. I want ability to have power straight away when needed and quick throttle response. Fuel wise doesn't matter much as most of time in 8th gear cruising anyway

7:35 one more visible change I have noticed with my diesel xdrive is that sport mode raises up idle driving rpms closer to 1.8k range while on comfort it stays as low as 1.2k rpms - apperantly to make engine more responsive for sudden power demands.

@davesouthword1298 Жыл бұрын

Sport has DSC on. Sport+ turns off DSC and activates DTC under 31mph only, so above that the only interference on the rear wheels is the e-diff, so it’s good for arsing around a little at roundabouts. Not quite as described in the video, the chap may have misspoken. DSC Off mode turns off both DSC and DTC at any speed, but it also puts the throttle in Comfort mode so it isn’t as sharp but there’s no reduction in overall power, so you have a more progressive throttle, which gives you more travel to modulate the power. It feels a little disappointing when you activate it whilst moving with constant throttle application as you need more throttle press in Comfort to get the same effect as Sport+. There’s also a Traction mode, which is a short press on the DSC button. I haven’t explored that yet, guessing it’s DSC off but DTC on at any speed. I have no knowledge of Eco Pro. This is based on fiddling around in an M235i, presume it matches other models.

@ianwhittaker3640 Жыл бұрын

Doesn’t sport + merely reduce the interaction of the stability system but dsc off turns it off altogether? Equally eco pro will reduce the output of the climate control and heated seats if you have them to reduce the electrical load and a/c demand to improve fuel economy. There’s also slight changes to other things such as shift speed too depending on driving mode.

@dickhitswater4836 11 ай бұрын

Eco mode also allows you to coast much further without the engine downshifting and causing compression braking. Something to do with uncoupling the axles. That’s my favorite feature about it and the main reason I use it during certain situations

My 2014 435i rwd manual gets 34 mpg going 95 mph in eco. Whether im correct or not, it feels like the turbo is heavily disengaged, until you really easy into the throttle. Maybe it’s because i have the direct throttle mapping, but for a 520 hp bolt on/ build this car can be whatever you want it to with a safe a build, or up to 800 with new internals

I have a e92 320d N47 Doesn't come with non of that lol. Fuel is great. Puts a smile on my faces. Anyways I borrowed my uncles automatic F10 520d B47 for the weekend to go for a long family trip. This was the first time I was using the buttons. Eco pro: felt good when I was driving in slow traffic, small roads, or doing turning, saw the blue fuel return say 10miles gained/saved. Comfort mode: was good when doing over 30mph to 70mph on a steady speed. Nice and relax driving, changing lanes feels more smooth. Sport mode: felt like "don't YOU dare drive me under 40mph and not put your foot down" or rather "this fools is bumper riding you" floooooor it NOWWWWWWWW. (A remapped gear box and engine) made me smile :) motorway acceleration was just a amazing feel....felt like car was telling me :Power!!!!!!!!!! GIVE ME MORE POWER! Lol My uncle also has a M140i that thing is a mental car... my gosh after all that tuning that thing is a death mobile.

Looking through the manual, it seems like Sport mode will throttle back if it detects the driving wheels spinning. In Sports+, it will allow a certain amount of wheel spin. If you turn the DSC off using the button (when using Sports+ mode), the car won't help you and you're on your own. I think the Sports modes also open up the flap in one of the dual exhausts (not sure about this though). I have found that my 330i will get between 40 and 50 mpg on the mway in Eco mode. You don't want to be in any hurry with that mode as it's really sluggish. I really want that vest/body-warmer. :)

Great vid 👍🏼 At a certain point in time over the past 5 years BMW altered the default driving mode to comfort; my 2014 F31 starts in Eco Pro when you turn it on; all courtesy cars I’ve had from BMW since 2018 start in comfort mode when you turn on. Another thing when you switch to sport mode is it disables the wretched stop / start which I turn off as soon as I get in the car; I feel stop / start could shorten the life of certain components & the battery & especially in a diesel which is more strain to start than a petrol! I only enable stop / start in certain traffic conditions at my own discretion. I tried using launch control in Sport+ as mine has 8 speed auto & adaptive m chassis, but mine is a non M-sport model up-spec’d & I can never seem to get launch control to work; maybe I’m doing something wrong?

Basically the efficient dynamics assist you in saving Fuel when driving in eco pro mode. It will give hints on dashboard when you accelerate to much or drive above max speed limits on certain roads. Also it remembers your driving habit to assist you further in saving fuel. Dont worry tho, you can just drive comfort mode or sport mode, it WILL consume more fuel as it will do more rpm when its shifting gears. The fuel you save is minimal in eco pro, maybe 5 liters (+-100km).

@davesouthword1298 Жыл бұрын

Examine your driving style before thinking it must be the car. Because the performance of small engine cars is so poor people will tend to drive them harder and that will move your consumption further from the official figures. I use Dash Command on my M235i because in their wisdom BMW don’t provide a temperature gauge and that has plenty of options to examine fuel consumption.

In eco pro your car shift gears faster

I have also noticed in eco mode when you go straight and let go off the throttle, it puts the car in neutral, so no engine breaking

One question I have is when I use the paddle shifters and for some reason want to go back to D is there a way to make it do that? I have had the car for 8 years and don't know.

It will automatically go back to D when you don’t touch the paddle shifters for a few seconds.

Hi Dean, i have a 2011 F10 535d but don't have the mode buttons in the thumb nail or paddles on the steering wheel. Any chance you know why this is? I can't seem to find a concert answer anywhere.

ok do you have ICM module fitted on your car ? if so it can be retrofitted to your car and I can retrofit if you want it done

Hi there, anyone knows what sport mode does to the suspension specifically? I know it stiffens the sway bar, but does anything happen to the coilovers?

Doesnt this only work if you have reactive suspension ?

You can activate Launch Cintrol in Comfort mode with Dynamic Traction Control activated, you dont need Sport+ Just press one time DTC in Comfort and select S on gearbox

Well, actually... I hoped in a way more deep explanation 🤔 Because the use you can do with that button, combining It with the position of Gear lever if the zf8hp, conduce to a more deep driving experience.

I often pop it into eco mode if the roads are a bit icy or wet. As it reduces the throttle I’ve found it reduces the chances of wheel spin and eases the power in. Anyone else do this?

I don't have to worry about the eco pro anymore. As these buttons weren't placed in the best place possible I poured coffee all over it and it burned the pcb board so the down button doesn't work anymore. 130£ and the dealer told me that they sold 270 pcbs in the last 4 months!!! So have to wait for it for around 3 weeks. On the other side for 3 years of ownership I used the eco pro for about 30 min - it just kills the car performance for 2-3 extra mpg not worth it
