BMW 230i unable to switch from comfort mode to economy or sport drive on BMW 230i

Some BMW 230i owners report experiencing difficulties when switching drive modes, particularly when trying to change from Comfort to Sport mode, as the system may randomly default back to Comfort. Additionally, some users have noted that the vehicle can switch from Sport mode back to Comfort on its own, despite having manually selected Sport mode. There are also reports linking issues with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to the car defaulting to Comfort mode at startup, which can hinder the selection of Sport or Sport+ modes. To address these concerns, owners are advised to check the TPMS for proper functionality, consider resetting the system, and consult a BMW technician if the problem persists.
