What mode do you typically drive in? Comfort? Sport? Sport+ ?

Just wondering what mode most M2 owners find themselves using?

I generally use Sport, but I'm wondering if many other M2 owners use Sport+ most of the time?

Does it deactivate all stability control aids?

Sport. It just feels like the car should.

95% of the time I am in Sport +

If it is raining heavily I will drop it down to Sport or even comfort if I feel like it.

Comfort sometimes is useful on long highway cruises.

Traction mode is fun in parking garages and for showing off the burbles although Sport + is my favorite sounding mode!

Sport plus all the time except on track. I can't stand the throttle response in the other modes. Everything off on track.

Sport mode, all day, everyday

I really like this thread and the replies. Just the other day while driving in Sport mode, I thought to myself, what's wrong with me? Why in the heck can I not bring myself to drive in Comfort mode? Driving in Sport mode just feels, right!

Depends since I drive it during weekends in mountain roads, normally if in punch mode then sport, car is more reactive and alive, but in this mode for 3 hours then my brain suffers, also respect is key so I switch to comfort when passing lost villages where locals look at me, their eyes saying great machine but f... noisy, must realize they see rarely one M2, but bikes all day long, so less excited at the end ...
Never really tried sport plus but I will

I did break-in period in Comfort.

Now I drive in Sport mode all the time.

I think I used Sport+ only one time. not sure why I don't really try Sport+ more often. may be I'm afraid of my beast...

I did Comfort for the break in period too... thought I would get carried away if not. Since then I drive Sport+ as soon as it is warmed up. Sport until then and if it is heavy rain.

You gotta do Sport+! It just feels like the set up the car was designed for. Everything else is just biding time.
