I drove 3/4 of the way in comfort, but I felt that for overtaking I really had to depress the accelerator quite a lot and also that it was a bit of an effort to increase speed.

I did not get to test Sport that much, but next time I think that I will do the whole journey in Sport, much more responsive.

I tested Eco Pro around the burbs, I know its to save petrol , but it really should be called "Limp Mode" , I won't use that again.

I keep on thinking...mmmmmhh... next car will be 340ix!!, but I suppose that's why BMW tuned it the way they did..... so you upgrade....Damn you BMW...

And what does Adaptive mode do , I have never used this ?

Thanks All

Cheerio
I always drive in adaptive (unless I want to use sport +) it Adapts to your driving style and roads. i.e. if you are taking it easy it will be like comfort and then when you floor it it moves into sport mode.
