It may also sharpen throttle response and sharper steering (if you have adaptive steering), but i am not sure of this.

I'll have to play some more with my new X5 50i but I think Sport mode on the gear shift only changes the transmission settings.

I wonder if Dinan or other upgrades can add more adjustments to the sport mode?
