Lol!!

Your salesman was a fool

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is an S6 -- least I haven't driven fast enough to see it yet!

I believe another difference in DS or S vs Regular D mode is that the transmission will shift to 1st gear when at dead stop in Sport Mode vs. 2nd gear at dead stop when in regular D mode..

Hence the sleepier acceleration in D mode.

I guess my dealer was also misinformed then since he told me that the sport button acts like the M button in the M models...

See! You too? I've been driving around with the sport button on for two months thinking that was the best it was gonna get! He even told me not to press that button on until I pass 1200 miles! I even told the wife, I thought it felt better! LMAO. There are so many dumasses out there selling BMW's. I should've read the dang manual, but the thing is thicker than a phone book. Who's got that much time?

LOL. u sure about that man? i hope ur MB salesguy didn't tell u that.

i had a CLS55 too. if u're referring to the C/S button next to the gear shifter i think that means Comfort vs. Standard. Comfort means the tranny starts at 2nd gear, while the Standard is 1st gear. other than that the car drives the same.

Actually the CLS55 has S-Sport, C-Comfort, M-Manual. I read the manual. The car does NOT shift and drive the same. Thx.

I did a lil over 240 KPH (150MPH), if I can remember or correct me if I'm wrong, you'll go up to only gear S5 when your S5 gets 6500 or 6800 RPM approx 240-260 KPH
(150 or 160 MPH) you can't go any faster.

It was fast you don't have much time to look at your speedos!

However, you can get up to M6 gear if you use the gear shift paddle or the manual gear stick.

I think that's right....

DS/S1-DS/S5 (sport mode auto)
M1-M6 (sport mode manual)
D2-D6 (drive mode auto)

Unfortunately we can't drive that fast here legally! It's a shame. Why can't we all have an autobahn? Dang it!

(Optional) Adaptive Drive = suspension , button behind shifter
(Standard) Sport Mode = transmission, when in drive pull shift lever to left ( s1-s5 shows up on hid).
