My Current F10 has Sport Auto/paddles.
My G30 will have 'standard' (?) Automatic

Will I notice the difference... (what is the difference?) the Sport Auto is great and smooth when you want it to be and effective in Sport mode

Car will also have VDC

Thanks

It is exact same transmission only difference on sport auto you get paddle shifters and different shift knob, everything else is same even shifting points...

OK thanks... I see on the BMW standard features documentation, that even the G30 M Sport 520D gets paddle shifters... I don't use them much....

Also reading other threads on here, it seems that the kick down on sports auto is quicker and more aggressive, and manual sport mode has slightly different behaviour (I have it now and the kick down is great)

Some say the steptronic is muddier/less/smoother than sport auto which they say is jerky (better for town slow driving).... as they say the proof will be in the pudding... either way it should be fine I think, I'm not going to Nürburgring !

Software is different aswell
A number of people have coded their cars to Sport Auto

Looking at the configurator, the shift knob is the same between the two.

It's already proven thing, software also exact same! LCI cars already has sport shifting mode, a lot of things can be changed with simple coding.

The way I put it may have confused some.

I say the software is different since when you code the car for Sport Auto it changes the way the auto gearbox behaves. It runs a different software profile.

The software is already on the cars and only needs coding.
Unless BMW has changed this on the G30 since they see people adding the option through only coding.
We will have to wait till G30 are available for coding

Is it true that by default everyone gets sports seats. Is that the same as MSport seats?

Thanks.

Every market is different for their standard equipment

Seat is the same shape as M Sport one

Thanks.

Further to what E90Fleet says... just wanted to clarify your question:-

Is it:
a) Do all M-Sport G30's get Sports Seats by default or
b) Do all G30's get Sports Seats as standard...

a) is true (however this may differ in some markets, though I doubt it)
b) is not true (fairly certain of that)

I stand to be corrected

I'm fine with standard seats but as I understand it sports seat may be standard and standard seats that come with massage etc will be an option.

It's relevant to me as the initial cars brought in to Malaysia will be built overseas for the right hand car market i.e. We drive on the left side of the road and sit on the right side of the car.

I too stand corrected.
