After driving around in "D" for about an hour in stop and go, i came to a light and hit the sport button. When the light turned green i damn near launched into the car in front of me
ha ha. Probably shouldn't do that when you are used to lethargic throttle mode.

With SAT, there are definitely differences, but I'm not sure if you need the SAT to see the benefits. When the Sport mode button is engaged and you switch to DS on SAT equipped LCI cars, it goes into S1, S2, S3, etc on the display. vs. M1, M2, M3. It's even more aggressive, and quite fun! ![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)

But a launch like that sounds like M mode.

Point being the 6 OEM wires and an aftermarket button run about $30.

I have my car remapped. So I suppose what I'm asking is will this FDC sport mode be switching to a different DME map? (therefore not utilising the remap?)
...of course this sounds unlikely, but I just wanted to check before installing a sport button that actually ends up reducing performance when it's pressed.

This is a knock out of the park for the price
