Car is still automatic in all mode settings except M. Still no need to do manual gear-changes....

Is there anyway to stop the car defaulting back to “C” when you restart it. I would much prefer i could specify the default mode. Either that or it should restart with the mode last used!
How new? Mines 2018 so not THAT old yet. It’s a small thing but a niggle. Would love to be able to get mine changed if possible....
Mine is 2016 and has it, if I use the I* setting I can turn stop start off completely for the whole day.Not sure mate mine is 2017 and has it. I'm sure there are more knowledgeable folk than me that will advise.
Someone on the other thread looking for R232 SL400 advice, you might want to post before I talk him into buying the SL500 ;-)...Not sure mate mine is 2017 and has it. I'm sure there are more knowledgeable folk than me that will advise.

Exactly, you can set that and stop start, and not need to change it again all day.I think he is referring to driving mode S,C,E etc
If you can average 33mpg in a C43 then you aren't driving it properlyThanks for clarifying that Mike. I thought that I had read that somewhere ages ago and when I bought the C43, it was a bit jerky 4,000 miles and I wondered if they had been driving with the paddles as I don't. I told someone that i'm sure they 'learn' from the driver and was told that was nonsense. It's smooth now up and down the gearbox in auto mode (I never use paddles in any cars, I just let it do it's thing). No lag on mine, I keep it in comfort and averaging about 33 mpg. Very pleased.

Your BMW has sport as the default setting..... honestly the nerve of peopleIf you want a more instant response then you want an engine with a load of torque and supercharged rather than turbocharged.
Obviously as large an engine as possible IMO but then fuel economy goes out the window.
Here's one source / explanation of the the Transmission Control Unit "learns" the driving style of its owner. It gradually changes when the new owner arrives, and does change in the course of ownership, depending on how your driving style evolves:
Here's the write up on "Mercedes Medic" You are being redirected...
Nothing unique to Mercedes, of course, BMW, Porsche etc all have comparable learning systems.
(And TBF, we do also get used to a car the more we drive it, the car adjusts to you, and you adjust to it...)
