2 Months, 1000 Miles....Pressed SPORT...Holy S**T

Having just pushed the SPORT button for the very first time since taking delivery, I feel as though my wife and I just took delivery of another, more evil, R56 with a reserve Nuclear Power Cell buried somewhere deep within the engine bay.
I mean, am I crazy or does the car seriously become something else entirely? :>
This was a terrific evening of discovery and newly found MINI bliss. I will be giving Declan a bath tomorrow morning and will, more than likely, accidentally hit the SPORT button again.....each time I drive her.

Question for those more familiar with this button. Is it something which can be engaged and disengaged while driving or is it better to be at a full stop before changing? Thanks, in advance, for any input.

Hope all the Mid Ohio Motoring folks are doing well.

(Props to Aaron at OUTMOTORING....just got the Union Jack valve stem caps and waiting for the STUB antenna!)

Wow you are a patient person. I'd have done that on the way home from MAG.
There is a kit available to have the sport be on all of the time. If I ever get a new new MINI I'll be adding one. The R53 always has it's sport mode connected. Glad to hear all is well with you & your MINI.
