Drive mode "memory" between 2 trips?
2022 M550i, not running any tune/flash or custom coding. The car always defaults to Comfort mode at the start of a new trip. However, I've noticed several times since ownership (~18 months) that it seems to randomly remember my last drive mode when starting a new trip right after a short stop (10 mins at a gas station, for example). This behavior doesn't appear consistent; sometimes it remembers the previous drive mode, other times it defaults to Comfort, about a 50/50 split. I think it must have something to do with the sequence of how I park and exit the vehicle, like how it can affect the radio staying on or not. Couldn't find what I needed in a quick search, any ideas on what causes this?
PS: I've noticed this quite regularly in my '22 M550i, but not once in the '20 M340i I had for 3 years.

Rocket455 My understanding is that the car defines a "new trip" as its first use after at least four hours of being off. So for stops of less than four hours, it will remember the settings from what it believes is the current trip. I'm not sure if you can force the car to start a new trip or change the four-hour behavior through coding. Does this explain the behavior you are seeing?
