I coded in Sports Plus but I'm not convinced it has done anything other than allow me to select a mode on iDrive. The throttle response in Sports Plus is the same as it is in Comfort mode.

Can anyone confirm all of the options required for Sports Plus? And what does Comfort Plus even do?

Edit: Pretty sure it's coded correctly. I'm convinced the effects that people are seeing with Sports Plus are a placebo. Couple of reasons:

1. Absolutely no difference from what I can tell. Sports Plus mode is same as Comfort for me which is the default mode. That tells me that the car doesn't have the Sports Plus mode and so defaults to Comfort.
2. Xtraboost is also able to be programmed but that's a setting for the 330e and does nothing for the F40. Sports Plus is a mode in the M340i.

We all know they share the same iDrive so I believe it's down to this that allows us to add these settings but it doesn't actually do anything.
Happy to be proven wrong.
