This is consistent with my experience as well. Unlike my M4, where pushing one M button could change everything, I believe to get the most out of the M550 you must push the sport button and move the shift lever to the left. BTW, I usually move the lever to the left when I am in heavy traffic, even in comfort mode. I find that causes the ZF8 to react much the same as the DCT in Drivelogic 2 mode, which I used on my M4 all the time, keeping the car in gear for decelerating, and allowing for smoother handling in traffic with less braking.
