    R36 Sport Mode

    Does Sport Mode do anything other than change gears at higher revs?

    DSG shifts are faster in sport mode as well as at different shift points.

    Many years ago I bought a DSG tune which was a Harding Performance DQ250 driveability upgrade. After the software upload, the DSG held gears for longer in D and for less time in S. In D 6th now engages only above 70 kph which is nice.

    However I still find S holds low gears for too long when there's no throttle input. I mean it's nice to have some engine braking but it's a bit excessive. Are there better tunes available?
