Sport mode wiring to set as default?

[powerontap]

Has anyone found a way to set the sport mode as default when starting the car? Maybe by reversing some wires or something.

No, but this is an interesting thread anyway.

Why, are you finding pressing a button too much trouble ?

If it is on by default you dont get the pleasure of seeing the passenger tense up as you press the magic button

I like that one!

What I'd like is the heavier steering as the default and to be able to switch back to the lighter for parking.

Develop OCD and press/depress 50 times before you set off.

I like that one to! There is sort of a feeling of anticipation when you push the button.

Sticks: I've posted a similar type question on ZPost and Bimmerforum concerning increasing the steering resistance. I hope that someone as a mod or an oem min/max adjustment can post a solution. I would like to have a slightly heavier steering pressure for all speeds, more then the sport button function offers at speed only.

I used to wish for sport on all the time, but now all i do is start the car, hit the fogs button, hit the dsc/dtc button once, and hit the sport button then drive. It's habit now so I never feel the need to have it "auto on" since i have to do the other two anyway.

I love the sport button threads. Drive an auto 2.5 for a while and you'll see why i like it.

How often do you need the fog lights on in California?

Try 49 times. The 50th time would turn it off.

I still want to change the letters on my button to be "eject" or something along those lines

I delivered lumber for 3 years while in college and one of the company policies was that you always have your lights on when driving, so here I am, 25 years later still doing it. And actually, where Citation lives and to a lesser extent where I live, fog is quite common except a couple months of the year. It ain't all sunshine in California!

There's no arguing with the Duckman! //M drivers love to tell me why i'm nuts and that mashing the pedal will always get me going no matter the sport setting. Drop 150 HP and use a slushbox for a while!
