How do you do that again with a pre-LCI. I thought I read you have to have the "Start" button.

Ok this is going to sound really stupid BUT...

I just discovered the DS mode. I thought that when you push the gear selector to the left its only for tiptronic. I didn't realize you can leave it in DS mode and it drives better. PLUS with my sprint booster its crazy!

Can you believe I've had the car for 11 months and discovered this last night! WTF!!

You are the man! Driving e60 - it's like a woman - there are new sides you've never seen before...

You are right! Put her in the mode (DS that is)... and she'll do whatever you want!

Any one care to chime in on how to do that 25 sec trick on pre-LCI cars?
