Stevie - thanks for doing this - a great resource.
Couple of comments... Hopefully constructive

-PSE (and sound symposer) comes on in sport mode by default... As evidenced by the button lights and noises!
-Exhaust burbles come on in sport mode.... I don't get these in normal mode even with PSE manually turned on... Just my aural judgement
-I don't have any reference, written or otherwise, that PASM or dynamic engine mounts are affected by sports mode (only sports plus) but I could be wrong...
-In sport plus the gear changes are harder/faster... Pretty sure I read this somewhere and it is easy to 'feel'
-In sport plus the allowable drift prior to stability control kicking in is greater (as I found out last week!)

Thanks again Stevie
Ian

You are correct here.

I think this is an effect caused by longer gear shifts while decelerating. I could be wrong.

You are correct and I've made the change. Thanks.

I think I've covered these. Right?

Can anyone name the function of the **** seen on the center console, below the gear selector?

A classic. Although I guess he could be looking fondly at the engine before leaving.
