DSE pointed out that in another thread that the "sports button" does affect throttle input.

This might be what Noodle555 means by remapping in with the M3 sports button.

I've been testing this out for the past week. And the acceleration definitely does feel different between pressing and not pressing the button.

With the button NOT pressed, it feels like it takes more gas before responding. Thus it feels slightly slower, but definitely more comfortable accelerations when the car is loaded with passengers. There is less likely of the car jumping forward from a stop light.

With the button pressed, it feels more responsive.

Now the "DS Mode" by moving the shifter to the left is something else. Even more responsive than the sports button pressed and holds the gears longer.
