Default drive mode for 330e

Wouldn't it be good if you could set a default drive mode for the 330e. I always use Hybrid Eco Pro by default, but every time I get in the car, I have to change it from Hybrid to Hybrid Eco Pro.

Surely it wouldn't be difficult to allow drivers to set a default via iDrive?

What do others think?

What like - “Hey BMW, set my default drive mode to Hybrid Eco Pro”?

I think the default start up mode is what's used for the testing regimes, so perhaps needs to be fixed. Across the whole BMW range it's the same.

I think there is an option to have it start up in Electric mode, if there is enough charge but not Eco Pro. You're right, it is annoying. Something to submit via the Connected Drive app perhaps?

I’ve seen it done on the web, but not by BMW by a third party. They changed the dashboard and a whole host of other things
