After initially using “Sport” mode for awhile I began to keep it in “Personal” not “Sport” mode & deactivate the engine Stop/Go each time I drive. I find the transmission is not as jerky using this setting & the steering is firm enough for my taste.
While there is a bit of delay when I step down in peddle hard, I guess I’m used to the hesitation that many turbos have because I don’t feel the x1 is any worse that my 2019 Acura RDX I drive. I can’t say with certainty that the DCT is causing a further time delay but it might be. In Personal mode it’s far less jerky than in Sport & it does not stay in low gear as long nor downshift as much. I’m not an aggressive driver so Personal works for me most of the time.
I’ll switch to Sport sometimes when I’m on a twisty road when I want steering to be more weighted. (if they had a setting adjustment to adjust steering while in Personal, I’d probably do that instead.
