I wonder what will result in them telling me this again if I take out my phone to record what they are telling me because they stand for the law since they are law enforcement. And if they're not telling the truth then I don't know what is the law.
Sport and Sport+ is a feature on the vehicle and honestly I can do whatever the fuck I want with the functions as long as I keep it within the law. Fuck, next thing you know they tell you listening to the radio while driving is illegal because it's "distracted driving" |
I wish I had recorded this encounter. I also wish I still had a dashcam but last time I did have one a certain Forum Sponsor I bought it from cracked my windshield during installation and then two weeks later it fried itself and my FRM Module on my 335i due to a bad installation, they cut into the wrong wire lol.
I'm confused still on why he said my ticket isn't any points but the law says its 3 points. I know none of you guys can give the proper legal advice, but how would I go on for disputing this? This is my first ticket ever, I've had a clean record since I've gotten my license.
Furthermore, he said they're only for the track, which I agree with you, why am I NOT allowed to use certain functions on my vehicle that I purchased.
The worst part is, he took 5 minutes looking into my interior looking for a Sport+ button. I told him I do NOT have a function in my vehicle to open any valves as my car doesn't have any. He didn't believe me until I showed him the ONLY options I have in my center console area, which are POWER - BLANK - DSC OFF, on other cars BLANK would have been EDC/Electronic Damper Control which my vehicle isn't equipped with. The power button idk what that does but it sure doesn't open any valves LOL.
I still think its fucked up that cars with no working brake lights or headlights are less of an issue than someone with an apparent "loud" exhaust, or that buddy over here with a car thats rusting apart literally as he drives is safe. Sometimes officer discretion is a bitch. Earlier that day I drove behind a VW that had no working brake lights whatsoever, and behind me was a Surrey RCMP Cruiser. The VW went into the turn lane and obviously stopped but no brake lights. I even saw the officer turn his head towards the car slightly and just ignored it.

don't recall them having valvetronic system at all from factory on the exhaust.
driving mode is irrelevant for legal reasons as well. no different from not letting us use the car on manual shift mode either.

OEM Muffler on my car that I bought from Brian Jessel BMW PreOwned, and you're correct, only the normal E9X 3series has a valvetronic that only opens under vacuum, but he was telling me "all these exotics like Porsche and BMW have a mode that lets you open the pipes"
(Sorry for the scattered post again, not that great at big replies anymore.
