Newbie question please: Chassis only in sport mode without idrive?

ScottZ4 · 09-02-2014, 12:02 PM

Hello all - after having 4 audis I finally made the switch to BMW!!
No more MN winters = BMW Z4 at last!!!!

With a 2011 Z4 3.0 with Automatic and no iDrive, is it possible to set Sport setting to change the chassis only and not the transmission?
Manual says no
Dealer says no, even with dealer programing
Hoping the smart folks on this forum have a work around (although I couldn't find any posts that indicated this was possible)

I would like to keep the chassis (I have the sport package with adjustable shocks option) in "Sport" all the time and allow the transmission selector to decide for the automatic.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Wrong forum. You're looking for the E89 Z4 forum, not the E85/86 forum.

That's the OTHER Z4 forum.
