How to activate sport mode for reverse?

Antipathy · 08-16-2012, 11:35 PM

Hi, new owner here. I know how to activate sport mode for drive - you move the shifter to the left. I tried to do this for reverse, but it didn't work. I desperately need to figure this out, plz help, thx!!!!1

J/K

I am a new owner. I recently traded my 2012 Mazdaspeed3 for a 335i e90. Not new to Ze German autos, this will be my 4th (couple 911s and a Z4 M Coupe in the past). Ze Germans really make great cars and I haven't regretted any of my purchases, I know I will enjoy this 335i a lot. I was initially shopping around for is350 or g37, then I suddenly realised I could snatch a CPO 335i for the same price range. IMHO German cars > Japanese in most cases. Don't get me wrong - the s2000, NSX, and GTR are great, though.

I only had the MS3 for 3 or so months. I hadn't had a FWD vehicle in about 9 years (Hyundai Tiburon GT), so I wanted to try it out again. It really is a great, fun to drive, tossable, car. But I quickly got annoyed by the immense torquesteer and lack of creature comforts. I would definitely recommend one with the technology package if you are looking for a fun to drive, peppy, agile sport hatch. The interior parts did scuff very easily, which was also a big letdown. It handled great, surprisingly so, cornered very flat. I really wish it had been an AWD car with 40 more HP.

As for my 335i, it will be my DD. The first mod will probably be the intercooler or a mild exhaust. Not looking to chip it right away or anything crazy. I just want her to run efficiently and reliably. It has 52k on the odo, my guess is the previous owner traded it because it was now out of warranty (OMG the sky is falling!!). Oh yeah, the speakers are distorting if I turn up the bass/volume, so I will probably look into audio mods as well.

On with the pics.

Nice steal!

Maybe some Blacklines and Blacked out grilles will get you looking nice, but it looks really good as is anyways!

Nice ride, wish I could have found a Black, but Im too high impulse to wait. I was a Mazdaspeed owner in 06 with the Speed6. So much fun for such little price.
