Oh dear.

You say that sport "simply gives quicker tip in of the throttle" yet if you had studied the table in my post you'd realise the profiles adjust a lot more parameters than throttle sensitivity.

True, if we were talking about the E46 M3 we could agree the sport button offers nothing but a more sensitive throttle. There's actually a good argument for preferring SPORT on the E46 M3 for town driving as you'll spool torque quicker but that's a different topic.

Finally, there's a reason why I described the test method in detail - so it can be replicated by others, but sadly not many will.

Give the test a go and report back
