Juddholland – thanks for the illuminating explanation, as I was beginning to think maybe I was missing something by not having taken the DHP (or at least Variable Damper Control) option, but seems not. My gripe is mainly to do with the imprecise steering feel, and delayed (jumpy) throttle, which I did not expect from a high-end OEM. My previous BMs and Audi Avant provided a great driving feel. In my naivety, I expected the sports mode to give me something extra, (and therefore better?) and certainly not at the expense of an inferior drive experience which I now get in 'comfort' mode.
