Cool Sports mode rocks!

Hey guys I don't make threads or post often, so this is something I have to make sure everyone knows about! I just asked a fellow member roskinc to make me a sports cable after seeing his youtube video here
. Once I installed it I felt a dramatic difference in the overall dynamic of my e60. I have done pretty much every performance mod on my car possible except a supercharger, and I was honestly getting bored with my car, but ever since I installed the cable in my car I have been driving the hell out of it. The car is a manual and I have added the Sprint Booster and ecu tune to get more of the sluggish feeling out of the car. Let me tell you nothing that I have done gave me such a dramatic improvement over the car such as the sport mode, the acceleration is better when you push the gas the car has zero lag, the shifting is smoother and faster, and the steering has got much stiffer and for some reason the suspension feels firmer as well. It is really worth a look if you want a sport mode for your car, I wish I had this option when I first got the car, anyways just wanted to let you guys know that I love this sports mode, thanks for your time guys! -Ben

Just did this mod as well. Such a simple mod (especially if you've done AUX before - took me less than 15 minutes from beginning to end) and yet so useful.

Don't know what cable your talking about, but the Sport mode cable pins plug into the module attached to the dsc button watch the vid you'll see what I mean!
