I agree... number 3. I will go the first option now and then because I need to have my hands free for coffee or something... but by and large I drive the 3rd option.

Sport button with give a far better throttle response... So have it on.
Shifter in S mode and whether use use paddles it's up to you.. This I find is best performance... Next is do you leave Trac on or push it to take it off?? If you push the Trac button use loose the aggressive throttle response even though sport light is on and it goes back the more linear throttle... Weired I know.. I enquired this with BMW as to why?? No real reason other than that's the way it is, think it has to do with safety ... You go figure |

Thanks guys, I think I have it. Best setting Manual with Sport button on.
Next best is Shift Lever in Sport w/sport button on. (No conflict?) For now I will leave the Trac on for my safety as I am not the confident of my ability to control slipping and sliding. |

Best selection for performance is a third pedal and a real stick..
Haha I know it has to happen eventually, so figured i'd say it. I usually drive with the sport button pressed, if i'm feeling spirited and want to hear pretty noises.

There is not one best point to shift, it depends on the tune and map that you have. you will have to analyse your dyno graph to figure out when teh best time to shift with your mods
