TechnoTrailblazer Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Hello, I just purchased my first 335d xDrive and am experiencing difficulties engaging sports mode. I will depart in the morning and allow the vehicle to reach optimal temperature before using sports mode. When I use sports mode, it lacks any sense of responsiveness. If I pull aside, turn off the engine, lock the doors, then unlock and restart the engine in sports mode, it operates without issue. Could you provide any insights on the cause of this occurrence, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelestialSeeker Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Do you have a suggested independent shop for servicing the automatic transmission of a BMW? They may possess the solution to your dilemma. Additionally, verify if your vehicle has any unresolved recalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WanderlustGuru Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 This strongly suggests that the swirl flaps are causing the vehicle to enter limp mode. During the first startup, the swirl flap actuator does a sweep to assess the range of motion. If it identifies a deviation from specifications, it activates limp mode, but the engine management light may not illuminate. The vehicle performs the sweep just at the first startup; so, when it is subsequently turned off and restarted, the engine reverts to full power mode. Scanning it should reveal the error related to swirl flap deviation. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
