I use it on the highway. Regular mode for regular city driving. The shifts are too rough in sport mode IMO for city driving. For the automatic that is... 6speed and smg is a whole other story. Those guys should always be driving in Sport.?

I am the reverse. I like to use the sportmode while driving in the city and while driving in the highway I like regular mode.

My Ride: 530iA Silver Grey , black interior. Premium Package, Navigation System, Head-up Display, Radio Satellite, Adaptive Xenon Headlights. AC Schnitzer Front Lip, H&R springs, Rear red reflector, All season Floor mat,
I rarely use them. I would use them all the time if my car is 545i.

When on auto mode is shifts down too easily (both D or DS) when cruising... If I want to shift down then I can still use kickdown or tap the gear down

I'm usually in D for daily commute/around town driving, but if I want to play a bit, I use the Manual Mode on my Steptronic more than DS.

I'm the never vote. I do sometimes downshift but never drive in DS. I have enough trouble keeping it away from the redline as it is. I don't recall ever using the kickdown either. I don't feel the need for either one.
