Bobo · 09-24-2005, 03:55 PM

any drawbacks , disadvantages or risks of doing this ?

E90Fleet · 09-24-2005, 04:01 PM

No problem

only the car will use more fuel than in D mode.

otherwise it's there to be used.

I did this for seven days straight before leaving my car and coming to this island. It's much more fun if you don't mind paying for the extra gas.

Damn I miss my car.

Just push the shift knob to the left, DS will appear on the cluster in front of you.

you need a steptronic transmission. flick the stick to the left and if you leave it, it's in DS (sport mode). if you flick it up and down from that point it engages manual mode
