At least for now, I find myself wanting to activate sport mode but forgetting to do it when I first shift to D on my SMG.
Sooner or later, I sure it'll become a habit but for now, I found a little trick that helps me to remember.
I use the "accept" screen as a reminder to activate sport. In other words, don't accept the warning on iDrive until you are finished using reverse gear and are ready to go forward. Once you put it in D, press sport then press accept. (Just remember that shifting to reverse will cancel sport mode but you won't get another accept screen unless you turn the car off.)
Maybe I'm the only one with the bad memory but I figured this little tip could help someone out.
