Just discovered Traction mode on my M240i. It's Comfort throttle response (which I much prefer to Sport for normal driving), exhaust flaps open on throttle, and even more pops/bangs/burbles on the overrun than Sport/Sport+. For normal driving with a stock exhaust, it's the perfect mode I think (although TC/DSC are partly off as you mentioned).
I own a 2010 BMW 135i M Sport and I usually drive in the sportiest setting with Traction Control fully off cuz it’s just fun for me but if I need to actually save fuel then I drive in Eco Mode..
can i open the valves on the m850 without going in sport mode? so like can i be in normal mode/comfort and the valves are still open? model is m850 2021
@@HappyDude1 so there is no other way than plugging out some sensor because my bmw has still 3 years of warranty and if i do that its probably gonna dissolve the warranty
Hi dear HappyDude, my model is a 2016 F31 328xi with M Performance exhaust. I am not sure if my car can adapt the same way you taught to open the valve 100% open, but if it works, we will hear the sound of the opening valve right?(the mechanical sound) I simply want it louder or can be controlled only when starting up. But I do agree with you, safety first when we are on different roads or professional tracks. Thank you so much.
Normally this is for M models only . And sport mode is for when the engine is warm but You wont hear the valve over the exhaust note Check under the car if you have a valve and let some one else press the button
TRACTION mode actually deactivates the ESP while having a bit of traction control. Its the best and fastest mode for track. Sport+ is only for show off, the ESP breaks you in corners. Sport+ is for people who want to show off and drift a bit without the skills to drive ESP off. It's not actually fast.
i have tested all modes on the track and the fastest on the track is to turn everything off dsc esp stability control traction..... But if you dont know the track or the car well it is very dangerous! sport plus is the fastest 2de choise because throttle response and gear changes are at there maximum capacity and traction control is at its lowest setting. check my new video th-cam.com/video/fIEAWeqnvpM/w-d-xo.html
I commented months ago regarding the exhaust volume in sport and sport+ however is the exhaust on an M240i in sport+ still only around 50% open or 100%?
Hello I've bought a 430i 2018 model does the dash /instrument display change when the different modes are activated the sport mode apparently changes to a digital display I'm picking the car up next week so any info much appreciated
What happens if I enable TC then cold start and then switch to Sport while driving? I’ve an x2 m35i (EU) but sound is so disappointing (no loud burbles etc)
great video. much appreciated. but a question, is this only possible with the m series or it can happen with the other models as well? I have a 3 series gt 2018; never tried sports plus on road because of nervousness etc.😅

Dus als ik het goed begrijp kan je de tractie controle afzetten in sport en sport+mode. Mijn vraag: kan je dan ook bij een automaat in sport transmissie blijven staan? Of moet je gewoon in Drive blijven?
Nee je hebt het niet goed begrepen 😆 Als je de tractie uitzet dan vervalt de mode waarin je zit geen enkele mode kan dus gecombineerd worden elke mode heeft zijn eigen settings 😉 En alles kan tijdens het rijden of stilstaan verzet worden
@@HappyDude1 Oke bedankt. Dus enkel het geluid hoor je dan meer? De auto rijd dan normaal zogezegd in geen modus zonder tractie controle maar zal in sport transmissie m/s wel hogere toeren doen dan in drive? Dus hoger geluid produceren. 50% tractie en 50% stabiliteit heb ik begrepen. Ook het volledig afzetten van de tractie 😀
Wel als je blijft drukken op de knop staat hij volledig af he Dan staan alle hulpsysteem uit en hij geeft ook wat meer gasrespons In een ///M kan je hem volledig vast zetten in een versnelling dan schakelt hij niet meer Bij u automaat zal hij nog opschakelen als je op het einde van je toeren zit ?
