manual 6-speed
6-speed automatic
6-speed sport automatic (LCI)
6-speed SMG
7-speed SMG

That's what it's available on the e60

I wonder if he has the non sport tranny but was still able to activate sport mode with that button....idk if that makes sense

JCL will become famous soon enoughJCL will become famous soon enough
Why would an E53 (based on the E39) have any features found on the E60?

I see the original video was posted on April 1st. Coincidence?

when you put the e53 in sport mode by using the tranny shifter

it shows an S on the dash = sport

shifting changes and engine response does to

no suspension alteration takes place

Can you describe "changes in engine response"? Only thing that happens, far as I can tell, is shift points. My M3 has Sport button. By pressing it will change throttle response. Shifting to Sport in X5 doesn't seem to have any effect in engine.

Interesting... If possible; would like to know if throttle response can be changed instead of going with aftermarket add on.

E53 doesn't have that hiding sport mode feature like e60.
