M sports button
Discussion
guys im currently in the market for a 2000/01 M5. I think ive done my homework ok so far but i need to know about this sports button!! i know it gives extra boost etc but where is it located??? is it on all E39 M5s i.e 99/00/01/02 models or just some? i havent been lucky enough to see inside one yet (except for pics) - cheers appreciate it
Button is located below climate control unit.
Urban myth though that it gives more "boost". All it does is sharpen the throttle response and give more feeling through the steering by giving it more weight.
The E60 though gives the extra 100bhp to take it up to 500bhp where as the E39 only has a miserly 400bhp regardless of whether the button is on or not.

All E39 M5s have the sport button regardless of age. There is definately no increase in power with the sport button on, although the sharper throttle response can make the car feel a bit faster, particularly in the middle of thre rev range.
I rarely use it, it all seems a bit frantic to me with the sport button on, or maybe I'm just getting old.
