This behavior has extended to consumer electronics and will continue to proliferate until you're forced to go to a factory authorized repair facility.
On this topic, I'm checking out a possible source for a service manual. If it works out, I'll post it up.

Hopefully BMW will be added to ALLDATDIY.com. now that NewTIS.com has gone.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
