Well yes you would want to keep the revs low on a cold start - It's habit for me to manual shift when I'm in sport. This is from my E46M days when I had sport on by default and 'always' used manual mode because SMG Auto was awful.
Having sport mode kick in when oil temp is optimal is a nice idea but flawed. Oil temp would require a tap into the CAN or OBD2 port - my main goal is to keep this project simple with minimum wiring. Besides, to have a car shift into sport automatically would be dangerous if you were already in motion (bend, drive thru etc).

Thanks Almaretto, I have read many of your posts over at bimmerfest and 2addicts, very helpful!
So I did some research earlier today on the BDC_Body module. If my understanding is correct it can remember ECO, COMFORT and SPORT modes?
I'm struggling to understand which models have the BDC_Body module, the only model I keep seeing is the F15 (X5?) ... and some of those threads go as far back as 2014.
I could understand if the new 'G' generation were the only ones with BDC, but not sure why the F15 gets it and rest F2x, F8x, etc after 2014 do not?
Is it fair to say a modern BMW will either have 'FEM_BODY + REM_BODY
OR BDC_BODY' ?
