I have a 05 545I with SMG. The manual does not really address the sport mode. I realise with a automatic there are some differences with it, but does anyone really know what it does with the SMG transmission? I don't really feel too much difference with it activated...

The most noticable thing is that the shifts are MUCH quicker in Sport Mode.

In addition to the above, there is also a change the the Servotronic steering feel.
You can learn all about the SMG (and specifically the Sport mode) by reading my monster SMG .pdf file in the Tech Gallery:

Pay particular attention to the bookmark labeled "SPORT button for Dynamic Driving Control" and it's sub-topic. It should tell you everything you need to know...
