M550i - what are your ‘Sport Individual’ settings?

Belford · 01-18-2018, 09:49 PM

M550i owners - what are your ‘Sport Individual’ settings for spirited driving? (i.e. canyon carving or road course track….not your daily commute. And let’s assume favorable weather conditions.)

- 1) Damping: C | S
- 2) Steering: C | S
- 3) Engine: C | S | S+
- 4) Transmission: C | S | S+
- 5) Steptronic Selector Lever: D | S
- 6) DSC button: On | Traction | Off

And feel free to share any insights, thanks (I’m still in the break-in period, so haven’t pushed the car to its limits yet)

My S/I settings:

- 1) Damping: S
- 2) Steering: S
- 3) Engine: S (I think)
- 4) Transmission: C

Mostly, I use S/I as ASS-off button with a bit more noise.

1) Damping: S
- 2) Steering: S
- 3) Engine: S
- 4) Transmission: C
- 5) Steptronic Selector Lever: D
- 6) DSC button: default

Basically tightening everything up but keeping the transmission shift points lower for better fuel economy.

Agreed. I also keep the Transmission in C. And if I need a quick boost, I'll just flick the steptronic lever to Sport. Then flick it back when no longer needed.
