Sport and Auto Sport Question
#11
I got a wopper of a deal from Classic in Plano. I was really surprised how the negotions ended, so much, that I started wondering about the car . Had everything looked at and pulled all history and it seemed safe. Also, unloading the 335 on them, I was really surprised on how much they gave me.
I reside in flower Mound.
with the 335, I was very dissatisfied with owning a BMW. Too many problems with those cars (my experience) and really didnt want to get another one (BMW), but looking, there was little of any other excitement. I looked at the MB AMG's, and the CTS-V, drove the M5 and a 550, took the practical option and got the 550. Plus, my wife preferred it over the V. Ah, who knows how long I'll keep it, but it sure is fun to drive and ride in. Plus, the deal was pretty good.

Took it out for a spin testing the difference between sport "on" and sport "off". Throttle response, as mentioned by many others, definetly much quikcer. Steering is significantly heavier (less assistance). I don't know whether other parameters are changed as well like the DSC (ie: stability control, active stabies etc...). Obviously I can't compare it to the DS settings on automatics as I've got the manual 6 speed.
