Are you ready to unlock the true power of your BMW? When tuning into sports mode inside your car, you're enabling the BMW engine to fully accelerate. Once ""DS"" ( aka drive sport) is displayed on the instrument cluster, sports mode is on.

Sports mode reveals a faster gear ship, allowing for higher RPMS and faster performance.

Most BMW models with automatic transmissions feature a sports mode. You can see in this example highlighting the 3 Series sedan, sports mode is activated by putting the transmission into ""drive"" and pulling the shifter to the left, until locking into position.

Additionally, you gain the ability to manually shift the transmission.
- To upshift: Pull the selector rearward
- To downshift: Pull the selector downwards

The selected gear will be displayed on the instrument cluster.
