Assuming the original premise of the OP, it simply proves that women are smarter:
Driving in Sport mode disables the auto-start-stop on those BMWs that don't have an on/off switch.

I drive always super sport. You can easily adjust by pedal.
Changing into high gears isn't profitable.
My car's gain for example is much better with 1 or 2 gears less than the suggested because of bigger turbo yeld is at high rpm with a little dash of gas.
Free intake and exhaust also affect that

I'm talking people who don't know what the forum is for, or don't understand society much.. For example I saw some posts of an immature whinebag etc talking about peolle driving their x3 only in sport mode.

Now it's obvious they don't care about being a nice person or minding their own either (they most likely have no clue wtf even it is or they do)

But here's the problem with this.

They post in Bimmerpost in immature mode sport mode only on let's say the most days, but in sport mode on a keyboard, the subconscious auto gear selector NEVER goes into delete gear, self-restraint gear is maximum..

They have NO fukn clue about how this is done, don't know it wastes more time for no reason, and they're just killing the fun time faster making us troll more than it we should for posting.

Things like this, just make me think, wtf are these people even doing? It's obvious they're not thinking at all so wtf are they doing? It's obvious most have no clue how being mature works, so you can bet they're out there in Bimmerpost gear whining up the forum and trolls faster than had they not posted anything and just left it in comfort, the mode most suitable for them, who only whine in nonrestraint lines doing well above the post baiting limit or a bit above anyway.

Comfort steering is certainly my default for all driving except freeway where Sport is less sensitive and requires less input to track in a straight line.

I can’t imagine waking up today

Soccer moms who drive in sport mode.

I love sport mode in the starbucks drive up lane.

Makes me feel like Lewis Hamilton does when he gets his coffee.
