I jump in Sport Mode at some point every time I get in the car. Downshifts with RPI exhaust sounds very, very, very nice.

Sorry should have made it clear. I am actually talking about my new 535i M Sport, the 530i is now retired.

Excuse me, but what is SAT, and what is this Sport mode button you guys are talking about?
Is this the Sport button just behind the shifter?

SAT refers to the Sport Automatic Transmission. It is different than the standard automatic in that the shifter style is a tad different, there are shift paddles on the steering wheel, and aside from sport mode using the shifter (DS) there is also a sport button that apparently alters throttle input and things like that. I believe it is available on 08+ e60s.
