How often do you use your "sport" mode?

[bbchili]

I just bought my car less than a week ago, and have had fun using the "sport" mode in my Auto M5. I last drove a standard 15 years ago, so it took a bit of time to adjust to "thinking" while I'm driving again. That said, there are times when I just put it back into Auto mode and step on the gas and go. How many Auto owners out there use their Sport mode, and what percentage of the time do you use it?

I only use it when I want to slow down, like going down slop or make a turn.
So says maybe like 5% a day?

I use mine everyday...As soon as I hit the gas to get onto the freeway I switch to the auto stick to get some extra power in lower gears for merging and passing...

I still say our 5's need a 5th gear like the 3's, but thats for another thread
