isn't DS and sport the same?
when you go into DS doesn't that automatically enable Sport or does the sport button enable other things along with it?

Heres some info from other people...
As others have correctly stated the DS or Drive "Sport" modes provide programmed higher shift points and in case of "Sport" a quicker throttle response. For regular steering (non AS) there also is an increase steering response for cornering enhancement. There is no tie in to the suspension as this vehicle is not equipped with EDC as is the case with some BMWs.
I noticed when you put the car into ds and sport mode you cant really feel the difference. But if you use just step (m1, m2 etc) than also use sport mode you will see the big difference in throttle response...

My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
Hey, I live in New York, snows here sometimes, got a 2006 530Xi with a stickshift. What would you guys say - should I get the SB or what?
