I've only tried this 2-3 times, but I can confirm that I have sprint mode. Do you have paddles?
My 2020 330i sportline doesn't have sprint mode. I tried it an hour or so ago to see if I have it. Nope. I tried various combos with the left paddle shifter and gear selector. Nothing could get sprint mode to activate.
Only thing that happened was what I mentioned. My car downshifts to the lowest possible gear when I keep the left paddle shifter pressed for a few seconds. Say I'm I'm 5th and driving at around 2k RPMs. Click downshift paddle once and it goes to 4th. I released and long pressed it. Instead of shifting to 3rd, it downshifted to 2nd. No sprint mode though.
When I'm in 5th at 2k RPMs and long pressed the downshift paddle, it downshifted to 3rd IIRC. But yes. No sprint mode.
