sports mode and ABS

Post by jimbo.k »

hello friends,
this seems a bit strange on my 850 t5 estate.
after putting the auto gearbox in sports mode and driving for a while (10 mins) when braking it feels like the ABS is working heavily, what i mean is the car vibates as i slow down. this does not happen in economy mode. the conditions were dry but cold, there was no ice but the black ice warning lite was on.
if you switch the engine off, then restart the vibration goes away. anyone out there got any ideas?
