Hey Guys,

I've always driven on normal D with the BMW. What I never liked was how it accelerated from 0-20 because it was either to slow or when u press acceleration a little bit it staggeres forward. Yesterday night I was like, hey let me try DS. Wow... I'm back in love with the car =D

Just wanted to share that =D

 

in case you werent aware,
D starts off in second gear
DS starts off in first gear, along with higher shift points.

 

Explains alot =p Such a different feeling tho lol

 

There's a "D" ????

 

Haha! I cracked up when I read this. I did the same for the first two weeks after I purchased my car. I recall thinking, "damn the acceleration off the line kinda blows for a v8. My v6 TL feels like it has more punch." Then i discovered DS mode
If you want to take it a step further than that, consider getting a sprint booster. I don't have one myself, but I hear great things about it.

 

that's what I was thinking...

 

Yes ... "D" = DULL ... Have you tried "R" for RACE

 

I thought D started in 3rd I KNOW DS doesnt start in 1st. I hate DS its too rough I just shift myself b/c I miss driving stick so much

 

How can you discover "S" mode so late in your purchase?

 

It's not that I didn't discover it, I just never really stood still accelerating at 0 with D and DS =)
