The Sport button is right next to the on/off button so I press it every time I start the car ...I like that it takes you to the last-used sport mode.

My use of sport is dependent on what I'm doing. For example, if I commute by Interstate, it's COMFORT.

However, if I take the 'short' way home, it's SPORT + all the way.

Would love to have that commute, especially on a bike.

It'll come fast enough. I still find it so hard to believe I get to drive it whenever I want to. In retrospective, as hard as it was to wait, it seems like such a short time. It'll go by fast.

To answer OP's question. Yeah I find myself driving in sports+ quite often. I just like the sound. the pronounced exhaust note and the burbles are just so much fun to listen to.

I did no break in whatsoever. I think it's BS.
I drove it fast from the beginning with no issues.

How true! My M Roadster is still in great shape, but my concern is that there are many parts for my M Roadster which are no longer available and you never know when one of the no longer available parts will fail. The joys of owning a older car.

I had a long discussion with the owner of my local repair shop who babied my 2004 CLK500 cabriolet for many years and who specializes in German cars and he says it isn't BS.

I am beyond excited for mine to get here too. Although I don’t have a convertible to drive in the meantime. I still have my 440I x-drive 6 speed to hold me over. This will be my first automatic in 31 years of cars….lol
