330e Adaptive drive mode what's the point?
Anyone really understanding what it does differently to just Hybrid mode?
I totally understand what hybrid, electric and sport modes do, but I don't really get what adaptive does differently. If any one has sussed it out and can explain when it's better that would be great!

This is a typical description of the 'Adaptive Mode', not necessarily how it works with the PHEV (330e) features.

The 330e user manual seems to skip describing the Adaptive mode, after listing it in the driving modes section. |

Thanks Pete, that makes more sense. As I am reading it in my paper manual it just doesn't really sound any different to HYBRID, and even the descriptor itself is little different.
I shall maybe persist with some longer experimentation and see if I can detect anything.

G30 User Manual has this to say for the basic Adaptive mode function. Quote:
