# 2 Use the transmission sport mode early and often! I frequently slap the trans into m/s to get a better throttle response when needed and it works really well in conjunction with step #1


Just a guess, but I think comfort mode skips 1st gear and then sometimes thinks too long about shifting into first when you give it throttle. Using m/s with the settings listed above forces the car into first gear when at a stop so you get a much better response off the line. I often do this while rolling as well and it will immediately downshift most of the time. It feels great when you are preparing to overtake someone, no delay just GO.
Is it possible to set the transmission into sport mode in sport individual without shifting the gear lever across to S? Would be nice to have it one button rather than two steps as per my late 2016 4 series.
