comfort mode customization

I see in sport mode and eco pro I can customize the feel of the steering but not in comfort mode? Just want to make sure I’m not missing something.

Nope, I cannot adjust anything in comfort mode on mine either.

What type of steering do you want in comfort mode? If you want tighter (sport) steering but the default (comfort) suspension…can’t you accomplish that by using SPORT INDIVIDUAL?

There is no (Individual) mode for Comfort. But, you can adjust the Eco-Pro mode all to default (comfort or normal values including engine and transmission) values and then adjust one of two parameters to be whatever you want (i.e.: Sport Steering), hence it is the equivalent of an individual customized comfort.

Also, if you have a pre-LCI, you should have Adaptive mode which is the best among all of them. It will read Navigation data and adjust steering and suspension to whatever is best, and on curves it also auto adjusts, and also depending on your speed it will give you the best balance between stiff and comfort settings on most components. It also adjust your throttle if it sees that you are suddenly pushing the vehicle hard, or the opposite when u r just cruising around. I am always on Adaptive and I love it (smart enough to do what needs to be done for each scenario and route). I.e.: If you put too much force on the steering trying to avoid a pothole, it will adjust steering immediately to stiff/sport so you won't over-steer. On slow speed turns, steering is easy and comfortable to turn.

Wonder why they removed the Adaptive mode? I love it on my 19.

I don't see any valid reason other than cost cutting and simplification maybe.
I know many BMW owners that use it too, and same on G30 forum. You won't appreciate it until you try and/or understand how it works. I coded mine to start on adaptive all the time.

“Adaptive” mode is my goto mode for all trips and any time I am not in Sport+. It does everything well and very intuitive. I don’t ever use “comfort”.

Love Adaptive. Wish I could make it default, but easy enough to select. Honestly, find Comfort too rolly, almost to the point of motion sickness
