OEM 5 Series Bezel with sport button

It works!

I was skeptical if this mod was going to be worth the effort. Here’s my thoughts…

AWESOME!!!!!

The steering is now very tight, shift points are much quicker and throttle is SUPER responsive, especially in DS mode with DTC turned off. Soooo much fun! It’s like a different car.

The sport mode is how they should be driven, like you said it is a totally different experience. And I've noticed very little impact on MPG. With the family I use regular mode, by myself SPORT mode all the time 🙂.
