No "sport" button.

[SilentAttack]

So this weekend I rode in my buddy's '11 x5 mSport and noticed he had a button below the gear gate that said sport. I have a '13 x5 mSport and don't see that button. the only real difference between our cars is his has the 3rd row. is there a package difference that I'm missing?

Yes, the rare and desirable "adaptive drive" option.

So I assume adaptave drive was an option you had to buy aside from the Msport option?

Adaptive Drive ('Sport' button) was part of the M Sport package in 2011 on both the 35i and 50i. In 2012 & 2013, BMW removed Adaptive Drive from the M Sport Package and it became a standalone option, which made it quite rare in those years as it was an expensive option. It was presumably removed from the package to make M Sport more affordable as it lowered the price quite a bit.

Bummer huh! At least you got the better coronas than your buddy

Just focus on the cornoas...

Btw, we both have the same vehicle stable now. E90 M3 and E70 X5.

Let's see it. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1081562

Nice pack you got there! Too bad my E90 is a 328 now since got rid of the E90 M3 about 1.5 years ago.

I'll will be getting rid of the 328 soon and stepping into an E92 at some point this year though.

nice. I'm thinking of stepping away from my E90 M3 for a few years, then maybe later down the line, I'll come back to another E90 M3.
