X1 automatic vs F30 sport automatic - Huge Difference
EDIT - There is a night and day difference between my x1 automatic and my wife's F30 automatic equipped with the sport automatic option. I knew I wasn't hallucinating.
Seems like F30 guys are coding their nonsport automatics to sport automatics too. Can we do this? http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1138452 Last edited by D Unit; 10-14-2016 at 12:44 PM.. |

You should try resetting the Adaptive Driver Memory for the Automatic Transmission on both, maybe then they will be the same.
Maybe your wife is more agressive than you😀 |

I guess I didn't Seems like both are ZF 8HP45 automatics. But that being said, the adaptive feature is not turned on in Driver Sport mode so I'm still not sure why the f30/e84 feel so different while driving aggressively through the gears.

It's how it is programmed
A great example is in my F80, when I'm in S2 mode, the gear shifts are smooth, but in S3, there the shifts are much more aggressive and can be felt Same exactly car and gearbox, just a difference in programming |

Is there a way to program the X1 similar to an f30/f80?

So, is the general consensus that the X1 with N20 shifts pretty smoothly without a kick? I never drove another x1 before, so I just want to make sure mine is normal.

I keep my M3 in S2; there's no advantage to having my neck snapped into the headrest after each gear change |

I think I figured out the difference.
f30 328i sport automatic vs x1 s28i automatic (standard) My wife's f30 has the sport automatic option and it's a night a day difference. Seems like some F30 guys are able to code their nonsports to sports too. Do you guys think it's possible with the x1? Check this link out. http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1138452 |

It's the first I'm hearing of it. Given its an F platform I'm not sure it would be possible, but I am very interested if anyone has done anything like this....

If you can find an E-series car with a sport-programmed auto...you can likely flash your trans.
