Hi,

Besides stiffened steering and RPM adjustment, does a Justa make any other adjustments when turning on Sport Mode? I know the S models also tighten up suspension but what about non-S?
Thanks.

 

I don't know if the 2017's had Dynamic Damper Control adjustable suspension, if so that would change in sport mode if you selected it. It would be an obvious choice in settings. We have it on the non S F55 2016 and I have it on my 2014 F56S.
With all the speed bumps and pot holes, I usually leave it off. Can be jarring.

 

How can I find out? I don't remember seeing anything about it when I ran a VIN decoder.

 

Vin decoder options would say"223Dynamic Damper ControlDynamische Daempfer Control"

 

Sport mode stiffer steering, shortens throttle pedal throw, runs in tad lower gear if you have AT. Doesn't change suspension even if you have adjustable damper (separate adjustment). The F56 wants to be in 5th gear at 40 MPH even in the sport mode I think.

 

Have you ever driven an F56?

SUSPENSION

For the first time variable dampers via Dynamic Damper Control are available for a mere $500. The DDC allows you to switch from “Green and Sport Modes.” The “green mode” optimizes the car for fuel efficiency by changing shift points and adding a coasting feature in the automatic. The suspension is softer also. Want a stiffer, sportier ride, select “sport mode” and the MINI will be set to its most aggressive capabilities. This stiffens up the ride quite a bit and changes the throttle tip in. During my test drive I found this mode to be harder to smoothly roll on the throttle coming out of tight switchbacks. A small tip in of the throttle resulted in an exaggerated amount of power. Switch to “Mid-mode” for when you want an in-between classic MINI feel that’s about halfway between Green and Sport for a “happy motoring medium.”
