Recently a local X5M went up for sale and in the description the guy wrote something like, 'go from 350hp to 550hp with the press of a button'. Of course he was referring to the M button but I didn't think it impacted the engine in a way like this?
So I got curious...what does hitting M mean exactly? In my E92 M3 it made the revs go up etc but put the X5M in sport mode does that without even turning M Power.

That dude has watched the Top Gear review of the E60 M5 one too many times...I think that's the only M car that actually increases power with the button.
