thanks for the pictures!
how did you connect pins 7 and 9?

In this picture you can see that the red and black wires have connector pins at the end of them. I depinned them from the 3 wire connector I bought from Frys. Those pins aren't the same style that bmw uses, but they slide right into the glove box connector and clip in. They are a little loose in the connector, but make good enought contact with the module when it is plugged in to activate sport mode.

Hi,

My car is e60 - 2004 - pre lci.
I would like to put the sport button but I have a box with only dsc button and a little wire. I have any box in glove box.
How could I do ?
I read a lot a things but nothing to help me.

I just installed a button labeled Sport that lights up in a matching amber color in my Shift Boot bezel, it looks awesome, but more importantly is an absolute blast! The steering literally gets 3 times heavier, the engine/Throttle is a lot more responsive, and the trans shifts harder. It is so fun to have 2 personalities of my car available, it can comfy cruise with the best of em, but it can also get serious. There is a tutorial and explanation on youtube.

Hi guys, Just want to know what module do i edit in NCS expert to get the steering wheel to tighten up. I have a 2005 530i with all the goodies(active steering/servotronic etc) and just did this mod, but dont have the tight steering wheel when i put it in sports mode.

Thanks

guys quick question as i i'm going to go the OEM root, does the button light up with the rest of the car at night (other then the indicator LED) using just pin #9 and the ground? seems weird BMW designed the button with 4 pins and only 3 are used.

DanielFD

scratch that, found out pin 4 on the button should be connected to pin 4 on X14057 to light up the OEM button at night with the rest of the interior lights.

So guys its really hard to read all of 72 pages,

So did this SPORT mode , make the automatic tranny shift faster or nop? Im talking about PRE-LCI , since I find pre-LCI ultimatly slow?

It doesn't shift faster, it shifts at a higher RPM.

Thats weird that i find a lot of people say pre-lci auto is slow, in my 550i its unbelievably fast for a auto trans. It even causes a burp in the exhaust when i shift up at around 3,500rpm
