Wonderbar:
Okay, dumb question time. I drive my 09 CTTS on Sport setting most of the time. The throttle response is significantly better than in Nomal mode. So here is the dumb question--why isn't there a difference in acceleration times--0 to 60 for example? No flames please--be kind to a non gearhead...
Welcome to the Sport Button Club.
I do the same with my X5 M...M button active all the time, incl. MDM (M Dynamic Mode).
Even now, we had lots of snow in Bavaria, I'm driving with the M button activated. Yes, the car isn't always perfectly stable but this actually increases the fun. The ESP reaction has been reduced to a minimum and throttle response is great. If I would switch to gearbox S mode too, throttle response, shifting, etc. would be even better and sorry to say that, faster than even in the new Cayenne Turbo with sport chrono activated. This is where BMW did a better job than Porsche, there is no (turbo) lag in this mode, absolutely zero. Some people may not like this because the throttle response is very nervous and shifting is very harsh but I just love it.
I suggest car manufacturers offer three different settings: normal-dynamic-sport. Two different modes is just not good enough.
