Possible to code sport mode steering into other modes?

I vastly prefer the tighter steering that I get in my 340 when it is in Sport Mode but when driving in city traffic I'd prefer to have the fuel savings of Comfort or Eco Pro mode. Is it possible to code to have Sport Mode steering activated in those other modes?

With the 2015+ cars can't you just set this in idrive? Sport mode = chassis but not throttle

Thanks! I hadn't seen that feature. Just what I wanted.

That's not what you asked for though is it?

You cannot have the heaviness of the Sport steering in the other modes to best of my knowledge.

The chassis option makes the steering heavier, not for car in 2014 and prior though.
