DCT sport button question

1SerieStud · 04-03-2011, 04:31 PM

For those with the DCT transmission:

Do you know if the sport button affects the dampening/suspension in any way? I am aware of the well known changes (throttle response, quicker shifting etc), however, a friend of mine feels that his car readjusts the suspension while in sport mode. I rode in it and I can't feel a difference.

Thanks!

No, it doesn't. I think it might in some other BMW's (Z car?), but not in the 1 series.

That's what I thought, but I didn't want to argue the point since I'm not into DCT. Thanks for the reply.
