Transmission Sport mode?
On my 335, DS is actually a real noticeable sportier program!

On the 4.6is it drives/shifts tons more sporty including quicker downshifts that aid in braking when coming to a stop. I actually rather the sport mode vs manual shifting while driving in such a manner.

 The 4.8is is the same way. I prefer driving in Sport mode as well except in stop and go traffic. You will hold lower gear revs higher and it can get a little choppy because you are going in between gears a lot on speeding up and down with traffic.

Thanks for all your input. I'll have to use it more to get the most out of the X5!
