118i F40 "Sport" suspension in "Comfort" mode?

Hi,
I drive my 118i (F40) mostly slowly - urban & rural conditions, so I usually drive in Comfort mode. However, I like the stiffer suspension of Sport mode.
Is there any way I can get the stiffer Sport suspension in Comfort?
I'm hoping for a software toggle/setting, not full hardware replacement )

It can be done (if I understand your question correctly) with drive modes. The way I go about it is to configure Sport Individual mode with all the settings I want and then every time I start the car I activate this mode. Not the perfect solution, but it is one button press - the same as deactivating the start-stop system.

Sadly there's only one Comfort mode, so there's no configuring this one.

I might try poking around the settings then.
So far my understanding was that the Sport mode also put the engine into Sport, and this is what i'd like to separate - leaner engine (a la Comfort), but stiffer suspension (a la Sport). And IIRC I didn't see such options in there.

If you press Sport twice you enable Sport Individual, where you can customize several settings - engine, gearbox, suspension, etc.
You could set the first two to "Comfort" and suspension to "Sport".
