I know this is not an option on the 5 but does anyone else feel that even KERS 1 is a bit strong when trying to coast down a modest incline. Without KERS the car would maintain a decent speed but I often find I am having to apply the throttle to maintain a constant speed and prevent slowing when I don't want to when otherwise it would do so by itself without KERS.....or am I missing something as not had the car very long?
I had the use of an Audi ETron a few months ago and the strength of regeneration was controlled by flappy paddles where the gears would have been for an ICE which seemed a much more user friendly and intuitive method of applying regenerative braking. I rarely had to use the foot brake as it went from lowest level of regen to highest with a couple of presses of a paddle rather than reaching for a switch on the centre console.
