Thanks for this. I've had my m135i for just over a month now and have driven in Sport the majority of the time. My main complaint was that the car was incredibly boring and lacked any drama whatsoever. I was incredibly dissapointed. Discovered Sport+ DSC last Friday (Thought it disabled everything previously so never used it) The car now drives exactly how I expected it to before I purchased it. Literally turned it into a different car, finding it very difficult to drive in any other mode now!

@@kirkham1991 that's good and you totally should. I've had mine for about 6 months now. Added chassis bracing and a strut bar to improve chassis rigidity and steering feel. Doing rear subframe bushing inserts tmr! Starting to feel like the way I imagined it to be and discovering sport + with paddle shifting has made the car reach my expectations now. Sad i don't have any tracks where I live, but psyched to drive it with the new upgrades.

Is there any difference in the operation of the electronically limited slip diff between the DTC mode and Sport+ ?
@SidNorth8 жыл бұрын
This is a great vid. Enjoyed you explaining how all the different TC settings work. Hats of to BMW for still having a Full Off Mode!! Very few manufactures are now offering this in there full on Sports/Supercars and it's great that Beamer can actually give you the opportunity to Turn all the Toys off and let you have some proper fun. Brilliant Vid. 👌🏼🏁

I have the same car, i read somewhere that in DSC fully off, BMW limited the power to 90%, not sure how true this is, but it would explain the half a second quarter mile less, as you would only be using about 293HP instead of the full 326HP. Seems a bit pointless to me, but this is on a car that has lights raise when you brake, primes the fuel pump when you try and open the boot when the car is still locked (surely a passer by could prime any 1 series by trying to open the boot, maybe that's only mine?) and fitted a engine without a dipstick. maybe i'm old fashioned, but my previous daily driver was a 34 year old 2.8 injection Capri, couldn't get any more simple than that. loving the car, doesn't like snow though :)

how do you make the "takeoff", revs at 3000rpm and clutch fully down, then you simply drop the clutch or until the wheels grab the engine power?
@oliverrendall8 жыл бұрын
Just a tip, try and have both hands on the wheel in between shifts with traction off so you can correct easier. Good video :)
@JoeAchilles18 жыл бұрын
Cheers, I always try to keep two hands on the wheel especially when pushing on, it's almost impossible when trying to get a good launch and changing 1st to 2nd as no time between gears to put hand on wheel....

In reality you're not going to need more than a few degrees of quick correction in a straight line unless you're really moving or made a massive hash of it in the first place.

Have you seen my video that talks about this manual & my older auto car - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fcqamNWHsMvZdmg.html Both cars are awesome, the 135 is my weekend fun car and as a result the manual is fine, for an all round package I think the auto makes more sense... Hard decision though. Thanks man Joe

Must have is the "adaptive M suspension" it is superior to standard M sport.... Especially if one is buying Xdrive, standard M sport suspension is NOT available on Xdrive (a lot of buyers do not know this) and think the M Sport on paper means it has M sport suspension The xenon headlights is another must.... Personally I wouldn't bother with the satnav system which costs a lot! I find my one damn annoying to use
