Intermittent Sport Button

I think mine is broken.
It seems to only work when it feels like it the past few days.
Pressing it up into sport only works now and again. If I press the switch down, most times the list comes up saying it is in comfort and then I can press it to go up into sport but I can't press it into sport without pressing down first.

Has anyone else had this?

No. Does it maybe only allow Sport if the engine has heated up...?

I'm sure on my 23i it can go into Sport any time.

Can't blame one for being a proud coupe owner!

Could you remove the switch and cross the wires? See if it's the physical button that has gone?

Maybe it's a tin top thing. My roadster button works fine

Hope you're not putting me in the tin-top category?

I have normal,sport,sport+ (I guess because I have DCT) but I can switch between modes at will , what you have described sounds like a fault to me , guess its time to talk to dealer

Have you tried putting it into Sports Mode with the roof down..??

Roof is always down, my friend.

(Do you think the rain has buggered the switch up?

)
