Wouldn't it be great if sport mode was already active when you started your car?

When gas hits $6/gal I would like to turn it off.

All you really have to do is move the shifter to the left to get to sports mode.

I agree it would be best if BMW allowed configuration of start-up defaults. If I had an M5 I believe I would want it in allout mode at all times. With my diesel, I'm a little more focused on economy and when I feel like hitting it, I kinda like switching the sprintbooster to red, flicking the gearselector into DS and hitting the sportbutton.... Heck, if you had a Pagani, you would have to switch the battery on with a flick switch, then the fuel pump, then hit the starter... And that would be good fun. So maybe this is what BMW have tried to emulate and the reason it can't be configured as default on. But our cars are not Pagani's and there are weeks...streaks, where I want the car in allout mode all the time so I'll be watching this thread to see if you find an easy solution to this.
