eco pro surprising observation

I've had the F15 for 7 years and its usually in comfort mode never in eco pro unless by accident.

So my battery had a low warning (I stupidly updated the sat navigation to latest version via usb when engine was off and headlights were on and it took a good 45 minutes but after update ended low battery warning came on)

I had heard that eco pro helps with battery charge so put it into eco Pro and drove it for 50 miles.

My biggest observation was how it was more comfortable in eco pro suspension wise compared to comfort. It became similar to the ride in my sir suspension g05 x5!

It's it just me or have others noted it too?

Eco Pro is worse than Comfort for battery charge and there is no change in suspension behaviour.

what about when you coast in comfort? you should see the efficient dynamics bar be filled in and wouldn't that be better than eco mode for battery charging?

In terms of suspension, I feel it's the same
