BMW Eco Pro , Comfort Mode , Sport & Sport + Modes Explained

[@heistkev]

While eco pro might not technically offer better milage when compared to comfort, since it lowers the throttle input, it thereby reduces fuel consumption while allowing similar pedal travel to comfort mode. if you want the same milage in comfort you have to essentially feather the throttle. Eco pro just makes saving fuel easier, as it's very hard to feather the throttle in these cars without wanting to let her rip.

[@Planet1ish]

agree with this. Eco pro is much more comfortable for me to drive. It give gradual acceleration while pressing the gas pedal, however on comfort mode, the acceleration is a bit rough for my taste. I have to keep holding my feet to not press it too hard. I havent tested the mileage difference between both mode, but eco also feels it give less road/wind noise in my opinion.

[@Lordjohn007]

Eco Mode saves loads of fuel, I use my 4 series’s daily as my work car, and round town I’m getting around 49 MPG (420d)

[@WasteOfTimeDude]

Do not forget thaat Eco Pro lets you coast. If you drive down hill and let off the gas it will start coasting. It will no longer engine break. If you press the gas it will then engage in a gear and start driving normaly and use the engine break. If nothing happens it goes back to coasting. So it will save extra gas on highways and going down hill. Its not just the throtle response.

[@Dustii91]

​@MarinMar94 This is the most important factor in my opinion. Something that I really do love

[@magburner]

​@@WasteOfTimeDudeYes, drive with an eye on the efficient dynamics, and you will realise this.

[@peteriskrumings8771]

7:35 one more visible change I have noticed with my diesel xdrive is that sport mode raises up idle driving rpms closer to 1.8k range while on comfort it stays as low as 1.2k rpms - apperantly to make engine more responsive for sudden power demands.

[@davesouthword1298]

Sport has DSC on. Sport+ turns off DSC and activates DTC under 31mph only, so above that the only interference on the rear wheels is the e-diff, so it’s good for arsing around a little at roundabouts. Not quite as described in the video, the chap may have misspoken. DSC Off mode turns off both DSC and DTC at any speed, but it also puts the throttle in Comfort mode so it isn’t as sharp but there’s no reduction in overall power, so you have a more progressive throttle, which gives you more travel to modulate the power. It feels a little disappointing when you activate it whilst moving with constant throttle application as you need more throttle press in Comfort to get the same effect as Sport+. There’s also a Traction mode, which is a short press on the DSC button. I haven’t explored that yet, guessing it’s DSC off but DTC on at any speed. I have no knowledge of Eco Pro. This is based on fiddling around in an M235i, presume it matches other models.

[@craig855s]

"traction mode" is apparently for trying to make progress in snow/ice.

[@abc123fhdi]

B58 cars like M240i sport plus does more than it does on earlier cars. So your assumption is wrong.

[@neny002]

" but it also puts the throttle in Comfort mode" aha so its true. I was thinking the same. Sport felt kinda more agressive. Also on B38 in sport/sport + u have turbo flutter/ westgate sound and in DSC off there is not, like eco or comfort

[@theghostofloki]

I got a 320i. I use eco pro regularly cause I'm like might as well save some gas when I'm not trying to have fun just commuting. The other thing it does with the 8 speed is it will disengage the clutches and coast when your foot is off the gas.

[@fabiusmaximuscunctator7390]

I use this mode 99% of the time. Do you know that you can code that this mode is set as a standard? Just use an OBD adapter and Bimmer Code. It really annoyed me to change it every time I got in the car.

[@randysretired2020]

Eco pro is great on the highway when you get up to speed and can set the cruise control. If you’re in stop and go traffic, you’re better off in comfort mode.

[@MrAvant123]

Agree with this, I have an X3 G01 and on motorways I just sit in Eco Pro but in busy traffic and pulling out of junctions he Comfort mode gives you much snappier gearchanges. Never use sport as in this mode it seems persistently to stay in low gears

[@mikechristie6515]

Watch for eco Pro + cruise control on wet roads though. Ive slid sideways travelling to work in this mode.. I am no expert but if it turns off 4x drive then that might be why the car slip across the motorway sideways..luckily i corrected the steer away from the central barriers and saved my life ajd my car 😅

[@jaydonweston1734]

If ur in cruise control and keeping the same speed eco pro is doing nothing

[@keneonwubuya2226]

@@mikechristie6515you should never use cruise control in the wet.

[@chrishoulihan427]

Disagree. Eco pro is best in stop start traffic as it disables engine breaking allowing you to roll up to cars and use short throttle inputs. I prefer sport Manuel on motorway. I want ability to have power straight away when needed and quick throttle response. Fuel wise doesn't matter much as most of time in 8th gear cruising anyway

[@LuisSousa-pq1yn]

Don't forget that if you have a stock exhaust, on the Sport/Sport+ it turns the exhaust valve to open, giving you a bit louder exhaust sound. Great video tho. Cheers

[@ianwhittaker3640]

Doesn’t sport + merely reduce the interaction of the stability system but dsc off turns it off altogether? Equally eco pro will reduce the output of the climate control and heated seats if you have them to reduce the electrical load and a/c demand to improve fuel economy. There’s also slight changes to other things such as shift speed too depending on driving mode.

[@dickhitswater4836]

Eco mode also allows you to coast much further without the engine downshifting and causing compression braking. Something to do with uncoupling the axles. That’s my favorite feature about it and the main reason I use it during certain situations

[@simonbttger5630]

U forgot to mention that in sport+ it wont auto upshift if you r in manuel mode, it Will just redline the car, but in sport it Will upshift on you, and Also in sport+ the steering gets heavy and cant be changed on the idrive compared to sport u Can choose to have light steering on the idrive settings

[@DIRTY30DIESEL]

I can change mine. I can independently select chassis, engine or both in sport and sport+ drive which I think is kinda stupid

[@B.Ö-f5v]

In manual mode it never upshifts. But does downshifts.

[@rb26nate]

Sport plus is not just for launch control. It lets you have wheel slip with limited angle.

[@uzairsalajee2322]

You can remove the speed limit for eco pro by configuring it in the eco pro settings on the screen, then you can drive at any speed while in eco mode

[@lkofdoom]

Eco Pro is ur best mate in Winter when u don’t wanna risk sliding around, accidentally giving to much power and breaking out the rear axle.

[@V5869]

I like the COAST function on ECO PRO. When going down hills let off the gas and the driveshaft disconnects and RPMs drop, you can coast and really increase MPGs!! COMFORT mode doesnt let you do that!!

[@skylinedavid]

You can coast in comfort, from the paddles, upshift to the highest gear possible and upshift again, car will coast. It’s written in the user manual too

[@thekids_callmeboss6577]

I drive a f31 320 ED. The eco pro mode also changes how the climate control works. Also when enabling eco pro tips will give you hints on the dashboard how to consume less fuel. It will tell you to slow down when you drive to fast when you exceed speed limit on certain roads. Or when you accelerate to fast it will tell you to slow down. When you follow the hints you will see howmuch fuel you saved + km.

[@QuattroBajeena]

I have a e92 320d N47 Doesn't come with non of that lol. Fuel is great. Puts a smile on my faces. Anyways I borrowed my uncles automatic F10 520d B47 for the weekend to go for a long family trip. This was the first time I was using the buttons. Eco pro: felt good when I was driving in slow traffic, small roads, or doing turning, saw the blue fuel return say 10miles gained/saved. Comfort mode: was good when doing over 30mph to 70mph on a steady speed. Nice and relax driving, changing lanes feels more smooth. Sport mode: felt like "don't YOU dare drive me under 40mph and not put your foot down" or rather "this fools is bumper riding you" floooooor it NOWWWWWWWW. (A remapped gear box and engine) made me smile :) motorway acceleration was just a amazing feel....felt like car was telling me :Power!!!!!!!!!! GIVE ME MORE POWER! Lol My uncle also has a M140i that thing is a mental car... my gosh after all that tuning that thing is a death mobile.

[@AuntieWokery]

A reasonable explanation. Just a little extra added input. This information applies to cars with driving mode selector switch and automatic transmission: Sport plus = aggressive throttle profile / sportier gearbox profile / assisted driving aids disabled / sportier (heavier weighted) steering / stop-start system disabled Sport mode = same as above but with driving aids enabled Comfort mode = standard throttle profile / standard gearbox profile / driving aids enabled / standard (lighter) steering profile / stop-start system enabled Eco-pro mode = standard throttle profile / eco gearbox profile / driving aids enabled / standard steering profile / stop-start system enabled / climate control runs on reduced power Difference between eco gearbox profile and standard gearbox profile = standard, car always remains in gear when decelerating. eco profile = gearbox will drop into neutral and coast when decelerating, up until the driver puts his foot on the accelerator or brake when it will engage gear to either assist acceleration or braking. eco-pro will also use GPS data from the navigation system to provide driver assistance re advice on whether to use the accelerator or brake - AND, will re-engage gear to reduce the cars speed prior to entering built up areas. Eco-pro + ZF8 = greater mpg than the manual gearbox version. My 435d can achieve high 40's mpg to low 50's mpg on my work commute where using comfort mode, 5-10 mpg decrease is to be expected. Sport mode renders another 5-10 mpg loss. I average no less than 30 mpg in sport, 40 mpg in comfort and 45-50 mpg in eco. Eco-pro does not physically deactive when the road speed exceeds 75 mph, but any benefits offered by the system are negated beyond that speed, hence the reason the instrument gradation is greyed out, prompting you to reduce your speed to 75 mph or less. My only wish is, that BMW would have married the ZF8 to the M57 engine as I trust the M57 way more than the N57.

[@davidf8749]

Looking through the manual, it seems like Sport mode will throttle back if it detects the driving wheels spinning. In Sports+, it will allow a certain amount of wheel spin. If you turn the DSC off using the button (when using Sports+ mode), the car won't help you and you're on your own. I think the Sports modes also open up the flap in one of the dual exhausts (not sure about this though). I have found that my 330i will get between 40 and 50 mpg on the mway in Eco mode. You don't want to be in any hurry with that mode as it's really sluggish. I really want that vest/body-warmer. :)

[@deanoearly8817]

I beg to differ regarding Eco Mode because seen over 50mpg in Eco Mode on my M140i. Also regarding Sports and Sports+, In Sports mode all the safety features are switched on but with Sports+, you get dynamic traction control activated which gives you more slip from in the rear, more exhaust pops and burbles and even more throttle response, well it certainly does in my M140i 😁😉

[@unclepabs]

Great vid 👍🏼 At a certain point in time over the past 5 years BMW altered the default driving mode to comfort; my 2014 F31 starts in Eco Pro when you turn it on; all courtesy cars I’ve had from BMW since 2018 start in comfort mode when you turn on. Another thing when you switch to sport mode is it disables the wretched stop / start which I turn off as soon as I get in the car; I feel stop / start could shorten the life of certain components & the battery & especially in a diesel which is more strain to start than a petrol! I only enable stop / start in certain traffic conditions at my own discretion. I tried using launch control in Sport+ as mine has 8 speed auto & adaptive m chassis, but mine is a non M-sport model up-spec’d & I can never seem to get launch control to work; maybe I’m doing something wrong?

Hi Dean, apologies, a silly question. I have adaptive suspension on mine & had previously thought putting her in sport mode stiffened up the suspension. Did you really mean that putting adaptive suspension vehicle into sport mode 'will' soften the dampers/suspension?

Sport + stiffens the steering and makes the suspension harder. If I’m correct comfort & sport leave it exactly the same, as in sport + it turns off the DSC also which is why it’s meant to stiffen the suspension for cornering for ultimate control.

Can anyone help, in comfort mode, when I click the paddle shifts turning into manual, how do I change it back to auto without moving the gear stick into sport and then back into auto, I have a 335d 2015

[@Dejavoozn]

It will go back to full auto after about 30 seconds just don't use the pedal shifts and be light on the throttle.

Exelent video, is there a way to get the sport display on a 320i xdrive 2015 with the sport package (sport + available)

[@elliottfroelicher6890]

Yes, I have the same exact model but I found upgrading to an Apple CarPlay compatible hd display was much less trouble and looks way better

Hi BMW doctor. I need a piece of advice. I have a 118i twin turbo with 3 cylinders. It's meant to be eco car if you are an eco driver but i do not see great fuel economy. Please advise how to monitor consumption and whether the car's consumption is right. Thanks

[@davesouthword1298]

Examine your driving style before thinking it must be the car. Because the performance of small engine cars is so poor people will tend to drive them harder and that will move your consumption further from the official figures. I use Dash Command on my M235i because in their wisdom BMW don’t provide a temperature gauge and that has plenty of options to examine fuel consumption.

Bruh its not twin turbo

[@octaviangeorge5455]

How about sport+ in a manual? BTW. I get a lot of extra miles with eco pro on my 328i manual

[@davecomish6534]

I have a 320d and mine has sport+ also if you hold that dsc button down it makes the car so much more fun to drive

[@Arda972]

i always thought sport+ would give way more power than sport but i was wrong i prefer normal sport now

[@LionOfKashmir]

Same

[@peterzavala8183]

I noticed sport+ activates the small burbles

[@gustaspetrauskas2723]

Great explanation 👌

Brooo I love your vest

Hey Doctor, I'd like to buy a F36 30D, but Im confused by the Efficient Dynamics line on the tachometer. What does that mean? Is it only there because of the Eco Plus mode? I'd appreciate it if you could explain.

[@jimboTTT]

I heard they are slightly less HP, but more fuel efficient. Wouldn't make any difference imo

[@thekids_callmeboss6577]

Basically the efficient dynamics assist you in saving Fuel when driving in eco pro mode. It will give hints on dashboard when you accelerate to much or drive above max speed limits on certain roads. Also it remembers your driving habit to assist you further in saving fuel. Dont worry tho, you can just drive comfort mode or sport mode, it WILL consume more fuel as it will do more rpm when its shifting gears. The fuel you save is minimal in eco pro, maybe 5 liters (+-100km).
