The driver is able to set the suspension configuration he prefers simply by

pressing a button on the centre console, using a toggle switch to choose

among the NORMAL, SPORT and SPORT+ modes. In conjunction with

Dynamic Damper Control and, respectively, Adaptive Drive, there is also

the COMFORT mode for a particularly smooth style of motoring.

All this enables the driver to activate a pre-configured, fully harmonised set-up

put together individually through appropriate adjustment of the car’s drivetrain

and suspension components. On the road the differences between

the individual modes come out very clearly indeed. The SPORT mode,

for example, provides far more direct steering behaviour and a more

spontaneous, direct response to the gas pedal. In addition, Dynamic Drive

Control enables the driver to choose an individual configuration for the

SPORT mode to meet his particular requirements.

Through the iDrive control system, therefore, the driver is able to choose

either the normal or the sporting set-up for both the drivetrain and suspension

components. Hence, he may if he wishes use the sporting set-up on the

drivetrain components even if road conditions would not suggest a harder

damper configuration.

Another button clearly recognisable by a pictogram symbolising the reduction

of stability enables the driver to choose the appropriate DSC setting. As an

example, he may activate a special traction mode for starting off and driving

more easily on loose sand or in deep snow. This is done by DTC Dynamic

Traction Control, a special mode of DSC, raising the response thresholds in

Driving Stability Control. The DTC function for Driving Stability Control is also

activated in the SPORT+ mode, intentionally allowing slight slip on the drive

wheels in order to take bends in a controlled power slide.

Keeping the additional button pressed down, the driver is able to fully

deactivate Driving Stability Control. This DSC-Off mode activates an

electronic locking function on the rear axle differential for a more sporting

and ambitious style of motoring, for example when accelerating out of a

bend or hairpin.

To optimise traction a drive wheel spinning when accelerating out of a

tight bend is slowed down appropriately, with pulling forces being maintained

through the other, opposite wheel on the axle.
