Gear with an "S", "E" and "* like symbol" beside

Postby yemixnuga on Fri Dec 05, 2008 10:42 am

I've fallen into the hands of many inexperienced mechanics and this forum just showed me the light. I drive a 318is / 320iA Coupé Automatic and I have a 3-option button just beside my gear with an "S", "E" and "* like symbol". Please what are this options for?

Sport, Economy and Winter.

Mine does have the the same but Economy doesn't seem to work :/

Prison answered perfectly but I'll just add that;
Economy is designed for minimized fuel consumption, Sports delays your upshifts, Winter in "D" shifts a little different and when 2,3 or 4 in will stay in that gear and won't downshift.

Hate to say this again but, samabhi12, is it really necessary to revive old threads only to repeat answers that others have already put forward?
