Configuring Sport mode?

I'm sure this question was asked before but I really like how the steering gets heavier and suspension firmer on the sport mode but hate the jerky transmission (who the heck would want this kind of setting on a transmission?). I looked into it and it can only be configured if you have the DHP option? like I want to customize the sport setting to where it's everything except the transmission.

Hi, Do you have DHP or Adaptive M suspension? If you do I believe you can set it to only chassis instead of drivetrain. What do you mean by jerky transmission? Do you mean that the shifts from one to two sort of jumps and is abrupt?

I too like the steering feel in sport mode but not the transmission shifts so I drive in comfort mode.

nope, I don't have DHP... wish I had it lol. what I mean by jerky transmission is, it feels very rough between shifts, holds gears way too long and especially on the freeway, it's always down one gear, very annoying. I was wondering if it can be coded since most of us can't configure it.

I thought opasha was able to code in that sport setting screen, but I could be mistaken.

I think it revs too high between gear changes in default sport mode too.

I have DHP and drive in sport mode almost all the time. I have it set to drive train only so I get good steering and also a smooth xmission.

I have been looking for the code and also opasha , but it seems to be impossible to code.
I have yet to try another thing, but I have been pretty busy.
Hopefully soon I can give out something.

My understanding is that the transmission is slightly different between sports auto transmission and the standard ZF transmission? If so, how can it be coded or is it just for sport+ text to show up in dash?

Any news on this issue? I bought mine used w/6000 miles and it has standard suspension, probably the only 50i MSport Pkg built that way but that's the way it goes.

I haven't got a chance to play with any coding yet.

I have adaptive M suspension and it allows the chassis only option. It's great - hope you can code it
