How to Operate the Sport Mode in BMW?
2 Answers
To operate the sport mode in BMW, simply select "Sport" from the driving mode options located on the left side of the gear lever. When the car is in sport mode, the transmission reduces its shifting frequency, allowing the engine to maintain higher RPMs and deliver maximum power output. Taking the BMW 1 Series as an example, it is a model series from BMW, and its M Sport sedan version comes equipped with a set of M Sport package, offering four different models to choose from. In terms of body dimensions, the BMW 1 Series measures 4239mm in length, 1748mm in width, and 1421mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2660mm.
Switching to Sport mode in a BMW is quite straightforward. My favorite method is using the DRIVE MODE button located at the lower left of the steering wheel. Pressing it brings up the driving mode menu, then simply rotate the iDrive knob to select SPORT. Some models feature a dedicated SPORT button next to the gearshift lever – pressing it turns the instrument cluster red to indicate activation. In Sport mode, you'll immediately notice the throttle becomes more responsive, the transmission downshifts more aggressively, and the engine revs stay above 2,000 RPM for instant readiness. The steering also gains weight, providing better stability during cornering. However, I switch back to Comfort mode on rainy days since Sport mode slightly delays traction control intervention.
