Sport Mode or Personal Mode
I've had my 2025 X3 around 2 weeks now and I love it. My only minor complaint is the brakes in personal mode (due to the mild hybrid nature) are a bit grabby, especially the last few feet coming to a full stop. In sport mode, since, I assume, the mild hybrid is, for lack of a better word, turned off, the brakes are very smooth. The problem with sport is using more gas and, especially on my daily commute, I don't need that much power.
So I guess my question is, what mode does everyone generally drive in? What do you feel are the pros and cons of either? I am a new BMW owner (I did have one back in the late 90s lol) so its all foreign to me. Thanks for your help! |

I only have a 30 so its probably different for the M50..
The brakes don't feel different to me in either mode. I got used to them. What was you previous car? I wonder if the grabbyness you're experiencing is because of the M brakes? When I got my X5M it took me a while to get used to the M compound brakes in that. Going between the X3 and X5M I noticed the difference. If you're concerned about MPG etc. I wonder I you go into the setting and change everything to less sportiness |
