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.
