Here is the pic of the buttons in question:

I am in the UK if that is relevant.
I would love to know what they are for - especially if it is something cool
'Turbo boost' would be ideal

Sorry never seen it before. I'm curious also...
Also it could be that the previous owner installed some custom device into the car and that's the only OEM button available.

That looks like the button for the Smartnav (page 21 from the 5 series accessories brochure). The previous owner must have gotten the device installed and sold it to you without it.
Also it could be that the previous owner installed some custom device into the car and that's the only OEM button available.

Reading up on the smartnav system if this was the one without a screen I think it is prolly still in the car, but is just dead cause noone has paid the subscription.
As it's 120 a year and I already have tomtom nav, I won't be paying, but as it's gps based I think they might still have the ability to track me wherever I go!

Traffic master is a UK subscription service which provides real time traffic flow information gathered from a network of roadside cameras.
In the Netherlands this traffic information is free and is called TMC, but you dont need a button to activated it over here.
When there is a traffic-jam, my navigation system re-routes your way to your destination. In my e60 navigation system I can see a list of where they are working on the road or where happend an accident.

Traffic-master is a subscription based navigation service. Push the Tm button and you are connected to the control centre where a operator asks you for your destination,once found this is then downloaded to your TM system which gives you verbal instructions whilst driving and will reroute you to avoid any traffic delays. The company i work for uses this system in their vehicles which have also been fitted with a small 3'' screen to display an arrow view like the BMW business nav
