Thanks for the reply.
Again, it won't help me to read other reviews. Not sure how many people drive in my stop and go, many short blocks with stop signs, red lights driving and in an X5 35d.
If you need a beta tester, I volunteer. But, I can't say I would even see a benefit with comfort or sport for my driving.

My key concern is limiting wear and fuel use. D likes to keep revs low but shift a lot. DS likes to keep 2nd up to 2250 rpm. Not sure whats better, I tend to use DS on the shorter blocks in my commute and then D on the part that has less stops.

What exactly is optimized warmup??? I know the tc stays unlocked and D drives like DS up to approx 45 C coolant. Is that changed and if so, HOW? Again, my annoyance is directed that I will not be able to try and see what I prefer, instead up front have to pay. Rather use it for a tune where I can delete/etc to save much more fuel.
