Sport mode issue

Hey all I need help and some answers if you can. So I recently went away and my 2012 R60 was parked outside for a few days. When I came back to drive it, I turned "sport mode" on like aways, but while driving it now randomly turns off. What could it be? Is it something simple?

Thanks everyone!

Exclamation I have experienced "sport mode" turning off

I have a 2013 MCS All4 and my sport mode turns off on its own. I cannot for the life of me find anything about this online! Someone please chime in with a possible cause or fix!!

How old is your battery? Have1 the battery load tested. Most parts stores do it1 for free.

I honestly don’t know how old it is. Can a battery cause that while driving? I can immediately turn sport mode on right after it cuts off. It cuts sport mode off at random times. No check engine lights or codes are shown.

You would be surprised at what problems a dying battery can cause in these cars.....
