I tryed it and I drive better with S mode with SB.
But with out SB, I did try the M mode and it dose lag abit not as much as D mode.
I love the DD sport mode in the F10 528i with this option I dont think I will add the SB.
Keith you must try out the DD sport mode in the F10 528i.

actually i was in the office at 7.50......
i still can't get why u didn't like the SB, if you reset the computer and refit it, try not stamping down too hard, i think the gearbox tunes
it self or something to you first 100km (if i'm right) and keeps it that way.
i guess the only thing you can do now is get light forged alloys and a M kit....

and it just interrupt too much when i drive normal
also.... fuel consumption is another issue as well..

dont forget there is a switch that you can turn off when drive normal and turn on when you what some fun.
fuel consumption well for me it is less and not more.
even if it is more it is only $0.1hk per km which is nothing for loads of fun.
I always say if you always think about fuel consumption you should not be driving a BMW and a Toyota Prius

I had my old E60 for 6 years and it was fine and still going strong.
also by the time it dose brake down I think you have sold the car which will not be more that me right.
6 years was the longest I have ever keeped a car.
most of the time we change cars every 3 years.
