How to unlock hidden e60 5 series sport mode button 

woof

I messed with him and he bit

Installed this option 2 years ago. Still doing fine thanks Roskinc

"she".. will bite ;)

Maria Butler 😄

This guy worked for Bmw 11 years and I seem to know more about bmws just toying around with mine

Good Work then. credit paid where it's due you got them all fooled..We produced the robots & conveyor systems in Pécsvárad, AAT-Várad Kft, they called "Gurtföderer" and "Übergang". that build these cars I coded the ECU's for these models personally Many many of them. But I forgot you know more. Don't' take my word for it, All you have to do is make one phone call to any BMW to see if you are right or I am ? better yet take the time to read you're Manuel !

+roskinc After reading that you should be embarrassed enough to delete this video but looks like you'll just continue to peddle your snake oil to idiots. How sad.

Tom Skerritt Yes It is..

none of this changes the fact that i will never own an m5 v_v

and floor it, with an expensive car behind you

Y’all niggas are hell 😂😂

And for driving at day put on D for night put on N as simple as that lol

Yeah put it on R race mode and then press The gas and you will go fast as hell

🤣🤣

i have a 525i E60 and if i put it in drive then push the lever away from me the dash states its in MS mode which i assume is manual sports. If i push the stick up or down it just goes into manual mode.

Where can I buy or order this button or Kabel?

Interesting

I have that too, but I still want to do this because the button looks cool xD

That only changes gear shifting point. Doesnt change acceleration pedal response, steering and shift speed

@@j0wt0ng not true. Mine completely changes throttle response when i swap it over to the left on the shifter.

@@binlagin Same here on my 545i, no sport button but heck when i put it into DS it becomes a whole different car

Marvtheevil1 glad to hear!!

Did it really help out

infinityracing-za lmaooo

infinityracing-za same here :)

Same here🚶

+julanda 101 me too

infinityracing-za I have a 550i but just like you I fucking wasted my time listening to this idiot while I drive.

He just wanted to make some money it looks like

Not every car has that button. I have a 545i Sports Package, and it still only had the lever left for sports mode and not a button. The button came in later/newer models.

DS is dynamic sport, totally different than. Read your owner's manual, if you even have one.

@Bill Cosby Hold it right there bud, why you have to be so mean. What did the 528 do, to get called a piece of shit.....

Cause some of us has a 525i manual without sport race or another of the buttons your saying

Percy G that’s was d/s mode is for...

@@user-oq3lv6lv7x clearly these people have tried that and found that the new button makes a much bigger difference so please stop trying to stick up for the people who claim they work for bmw and this isnt true. If so many people have tried it and say it works then maybe bmw is hiding features to control costs while not changing anything on the assembly line?

What is the ds mode ?

@@jaredlazaro4289 the ds mode is the sport mode right next to drive. You just got to shift down to drive the left on drive and u will be in sports

No. Auto gear lever to left for Sport only takes revs higher and quickens changes. Separate Sport button tightens steering and improves accelerator response as well.

Philip Blakemore but if he slaps the gear to the left which means "manual" shifting for a triptronic transmission, he can control the cars rpm however he wants and can shift at a higher rpm

Berk Gosteren that's true for tiptronic but it looks like he has normal auto box. So moving lever to left would give "sport" auto if you leave it or manual if you move up / down.

ayni aractan bendede vitesten sport rejime aldigin zaman ds yazior burda oldugu gibi sport yazmior onunda tek esprisi 7 binde vites degistiriyor burda ise lexuslarda oldugu gibi arac sport seriye gectigi zaman kimlik degistiriyor:)

Philip Blakemore THE CAR IN THE CLIP HAVE STEPTRONIC GEAR BOX,TIPTRONIC IS FOR AUDI NOT BMW!BMW USE STEPTRONIC GEAR BOX NOT A NORMAL AUTOMATIC!

Craig you may need to ask your boss for a few bmw technical courses. You are wrong. In E60s without the normal (dumb) hydro steering, Sport mode changes the steering.

Craig Garnett did not weight the steering but transforms throttle response and gear box changes

Yes and a lot of E60's came with the Active Steering. It allows the steering to be easier to use in slower speeds, like for parking. And tightens up the steering weight/feel at higher speeds to give you a better, sportier feeling, without sacrificing comfort at slow and normal speed's...

+Craig Garnett Sport and DS are completely different; Dynamic sport. You've been there 25 years and have never read an e60 user manual? Smfh. Sad, you should be fired. +

sumiix hope you learned your lesson from bill cosby

Rmj-audio Hifi no :(

yep!

Tyler Walter you can tell difference between sport and shifting to left. Almost the same but you can feel some Difference

It is. The same instrument cluster was used on all 5 series models including the M5. What the button does is bypass the ECU coding and allows redline rpms before shifting. Its a MAJOR fire hazard

You're just too cheap to buy it and try it first before you open your mouth and disrespect people. You're the sucker.

TwasButNowAint you can do both but too sensitive for my taste but does work

Huge difference

+julanda 101 it sure does, works on any car, improves fuel economy, your hair grows back, etc.

I want to buy the cable! can u guide me please!

julanda 101 tried on my prius. turns straight into a supra. im guessing itll work for all toyota

Forty Seven tranformers allspark powah!

Confirmed on a 07 honda odyssey

Then you did it wrong, or something is broken

@@sumiix I'm surprised you didn't tell him to read his manual, if he has one....

Yes because all you have to do is when you put into drive while parked just press to the left, if you want shift yourself after you push to left push up into first gear, and down shift into 2nd etc. Dont mess up your car or buy anything.

Plus your winning with the twin turbo, im sure you kill the road in regular drive mode LoL

Roberto Merino What E60 do you have? I have a 545i and i can tell you that my car drives completely different. The throttle response is sharper and the gear changes are more aggressive, under brakes the car will shift down on its own to a much lower gear then normal, aiding in reducing speed into a corner but also being ready to accelerate back out. The normal M/S Mode does not even respond as quick, even if i manually select. Both the gearbox and the Engine management have pre installed software settings to do with mapping of accelerator position vs throttle and gear change parameters. all E60 run on there default setting and if you had bought a E60 with the M pack options this sports mode would be included. All this would do would allow you to toggle between its default settings or its second set of settings. it makes sense that BMW would do this as it means they don't have to add additional hardware as its just software based and only add the switch to the vehicles optioned under the M banner, it keeps the costs down. its no different to adding in options like opening and closing windows from the key fob which is a stranded feature on a 545i but not on a base E60 but with a recoding of the software all E60's can do it. they all share common modules, wiring harnesses etc. all car manufactures do this.

bo05ts I have a 535d M packet. The thing is that this "sports mode" was never offered for the e60 as an option. So it seems the software side is not present in the hardware, even if the switch in the cluster is present (as the cluster pcb is the same the use in the e90 and others). Closing windows with key fob was present from factory on mine, it is standard on the E60, only depending on Region. That is a different story.

Roberto Merino have a read of this, 04_E60 Driveline.pdf - M5board.com It explains the E60 driveline setup and how all the control modules work together and the FDC (Sports mode) you will see that all the required hardware is present along with the software in all E60's. The only thing missing is the switch to trigger it all as i mentioned earlier.

+bo05ts Thank you so much for your knowledge. I am a soon to be a proud owner of a 2005 545I in which I will use this mod to install and engage a sport mode switch. I googled and read the 04_E60 Driveline.pdf which confirms on page 11/20 the "Sports" button mode option. Again, thank you.

more responsive

Stephen Catt hey i have 335d 2006, did you try that? why would bmw hide that!?? how do u know it works?

Hi Stephen I have 2004 5.30d I have tried this but nothing happened.Do I need to do something different for diesel automatic? Sport doesny come up to cluster. Thnks

hakan sucak it has to be automatic.

hakan sucak I have the same thing. I don't see anything in on the dispay... Don't know what do to :-( 2007 525da

Have you tried this shit? Any results?

ALUMNI2K yes work on bmw530i 2004!

Only on SMG transmission

+BXtremP I just installed a cable today, and wouldn't you know, it works. Press button while cruising and it will immediately downshift so it goes up into higher rpms. The throttle response is much quicker. And when slowing down it will downshift earlier so the car is ready for hard acceleration once you clip an apex. :) In reality what costs money is for car makers is having to do things differently for each model, just better to keep the already programmed Sport mode for luxury models and just skip the button. And then you can charge $1000 extra for this luxury while we who have installed the button ourselves knows that it only costs $1 in reality. Volvo did the same thing, use the same engine for two differently priced models, just make sure you tune down the engine so it doesn't produce as much horsepower in the cheapo model. Really great for chip tuners who can unlock 30 hp with just a ROM upgrade.

+bethlabortionclinic another person claimed a "sport mode" icon showed up in the cluster with this sport mode button, does it for you?

+McBiggie1 Yes, it lights up in the instrument cluster.

because they do everything the same even if you didin`t bought the full options. Options are there but without "acces". With a trick like this you save a lot of money, just so you can have it from factory:)

+bethlabortionclinic I tried moving the shifter to the left and the exact same things happened. weird

same thought man i have a 530 and the sport button crap is the same when i flat foot it

I agree he didn’t press it

This alters the throttle response. Not the same thing as sport mode on the gearbox. I have a button on my M135i to change this. It comes with four modes. ECO PRO, COMFORT, SPORT and SPORT+. I also have sport mode on the gearbox.

Are you blind? You can clearly see the relatively old automatic gearbox lever... Not to mention the whole driving part.

as you can see it's automatic gearbox! IDIOT :DDDD

There is for a gtr

I was more meaning you don't NEED a sport mode for a manual, because you are a badass and can drop the clutch because you are a man and you drive stick. Not automatic like a 10 year old girl.
