I didn't make these charts so I couldn't tell you.

Is this same for most BMWs? Curious how my X5 operates...

I honestly drive mostly in eco pro (yep, i'm weird) but would like to know how sport mode wakes things up. lol
Thank you for the chart, was a bit confused on my car's sport + functionality, but this clears it up!

not that simple

i did some tests one night when it was raining ... M340i

will do more tests as they were done in "sport" gearbox mode (pushed stick to left) - just occurred to me maybe it's different in "auto" mode
