Chassis setting in Sport without active suspension

As the title says. In sport settings i can select Chassis and /or Drivertrain.

2016 340ix no active suspension option. What exactly am I selecting when I select chassis?

The steering becomes heavier (has less assist). That's it.

Ah yes, thanks RedKloud.

Is there a way to enable the chassis sport setting without the drivetrain sport setting on? I like the heavier steering but don't always need to be in sport mode. I have a 2013 335i

Yes, you can change the settings for sport mode in iDrive.

Since you have a 2013....you may NOT be able to change settings in IDrive.

If, that is the case, then you have to code via Esys.

I have a 2014 F31 in USA and had to code the settings.

I believe after midyear 2015, the option appears in IDrive for those without adaptive suspensions?

Ahh that makes sense, I was wondering why I couldn't find the settings in IDrive. Thanks!

I apologize that this is in the wrong place, but I'm new here and can't start a new thread (and don't know which current thread to use).

Where can I find out about adding a tow hitch to a 2014 428i XDrive M Sport (convertible)?
