What mode do you guys drive in?

Still trying to find ways to drive the 7 everyday.
I am wondering what mode do you guys drive the car in on a regular basis.I think there are way too many modes.I haven't tried sports + as I vowed that I will never turn off traction on public roads.

The ecopro is my preference on the freeway.What mode do you guys drive in on a daily basis.Any preferences ?

I usually leave it in normal unless I have someone that looks like they want to race then it's sport+. I have never driven in the comfort mode

Sport on the highway, especially at high speeds.
Comfort on the secundary roads.

I like the Sport mode with just the chassis setting on sport. That way I get a more planted ride, and weightier steering feel without the jerkiness of the sport transmission settings.

So do you drive in sport all the time?

Generally, Normal. Sport for twisty fun roads. Comfort mode makes my cars lolly-gag too much.

I usually drive in comfort mode. The machine is just so serene with it in that mode. If I want to drive hard I can put it into sport mode but even in sport+ it doesn't feel as alive as my M5 so I usually just leave it in comfort mode and when I want to drive hard I'll take the M.

Comfort+

If I want more aggressive driving experience, I will hop into my 625hp supercharged M3 and satisfy my speed cravings.

Ying and yang!!!

I believe this is the ideal way.If only i had a 3 car garage.Though I haven't driven it much ,its at its best on a freeway in the more comfort settings.Just like sitting at home.
