Manual to Sport Setting Question

Taittinger · 04-13-2007, 01:51 PM

Is there any way to revert from manual shifting to sport mode without shifting all the way back to full auto and back to sport? Does that make sense? Currently, when I am in manual mode and would like to drop back to sport, I have to shift the knob to full auto and then back to DS.

that's the only way dude.

I agree it could've been designed better.

No.

I had the same question here.

I agree it's a pain to have to move the shifter right then left again. I came from a MB E500, and all you had to do was hold the shifter all the way in the up-shift position, and it would revert back to the auto mode. Wish the 335 had the same feature.

You can (with paddles) go from manual to auto/D then to D/S, if you wanted to. Don't know if that helps any but all you have to do is activate one of the paddles in auto/D and it will go to manual. After you don't shift for a few seconds it goes back to auto/D. Then pull it over to D/S when you're done shifting.
