Mark, Graham, John,

Indeed...the Plus 8 is just a bit more likely to respond to careless handling with a degree of unpleasantness.

Interesting comment from a BMW technician. The Plus 8 has ABS and EBD, so it has all the sensors needed for traction control and stability control. The BMW "brain" that controls engine and gearbox is ready and waiting for these inputs.
It seems MMC chose not to apply these features.

A good solution would to have these features enabled when the transmission is in normal mode and disabled in sport mode. I think MMC missed a trick here.
