wtf?
why do car company's put in these eco modes when they are complete shit anyway?
You're driving it wrong.
>car is more responsive and speeds up faster at the stoplights
you were probably driving it like a less powerful car ie gunning the throttle and forcing it to kick down in Eco which removes any benefit

It was on eco mode tho. It's supposed to save fuel. Not my fault if it can't do that

Probably to jew the emissions and fuel economy tests which are done in controlled conditions
My Mum's 1 series is exactly the same, it drives a lot better and gets better fuel economy in sport mode.
