in this video i show you how to unlock the hidden sport mode feature on the e60 5 series BMW. This requires no coding, and once the cable is installed, should allow you to activate the sport feature which you can see by SPORT showing up in the cluster. very noticeable difference and make the ride a whole lot better. this was done on a 2004 BMW 525i automatic non-sport. cable is pretty simple to make, for easy video purpose i just ran a long cable, but can be installed anywhere. results may vary as i only tested on my e60, so i can only vouch for first hand testing on my own vehicle. PLEASE use this video as a guide, i assume no responsibility for any damage done doing this mod. any questions comment below, like and subscribe if you found this video helpful. If you'd like me to make you a cable, email me at roskincdavid@gmail.com
now up on ebay item ebay.us/5ZHKkF

Putting "Turbo" or "Sport" sticker on is way easier/cheaper and yet somehow produces the same result.

Guys Please YOU ARE ALL WAISTING YOUR TIME ! I worked for BMW/BIB STILLWELL group in the factory's for 11 years in Tuning /programing THE ECU FOR THESE MODELS all your E60's from 2005 up to 2009 have sports mode manual shifting as standered ! + or - shifting is used at the drivers discretion if you do not change up the transmission will allow AUTOMATIC GEAR SELECTION AT ALMOST REDLINE RPM hence the "sport" ! Now if someone wants to know the reason why there is a sports light in the dash is also because we used the same dash/clusters in the 525i, 530i 540, 545i & the M5, that should answer all your questions. All this person was doing was bypassing the ECU coding telling the cluster that the transmission is in SPORT. BMW spend millions of dollars designing & developing something that works great but this video is basically saying they did not pass it on to the consumer, that would be silly now wouldn't it. Please do not try this as it is a MAJOR FIRE HASERD.

But I forgot you know more. Don't' take my word for it, All you have to do is make one phone call to any BMW to see if you are right or I am ? better yet take the time to read you're Manuel !

This mod works. I have nothing to gain by posting this. I notice way more difference than just a lamp illuminating. Much quicker takeoff, car shifts much smoother, and the steering stiffens very noticeably. I notice the biggest difference when overtaking, much quicker reponse from gas pedal when passing others. Just enhances the car, by no means does it make it any more powerful. But he never claimed it would. 2006 530I automatic. I'm a believer!

Hey guys! There is no difference but the shifting. It goes on the 2nd gear at 6-7k rpm, that's why it makes an illusion that it goes way better and faster. And what about the steering wheel, I have a clue that it goes more adaptive to the faster speed so it look like more tighter when you're turning around it. Same with the automatic adaptive gearbox (google about it) which let you run on the 1st gear to the red rpm section (7-9k) and it only shifts your gear while you're releasing the pedal and pushing it back again so it jumps from 1 gear to the 3-4-5-6 gear. Real Sport mode will eat your gasoline like a crazy. It will consume all your fuel tank for some just 100km ride. So don't be blind! :)

@janisjudvaitis4332 8 жыл бұрын
LOL. Did you know that your gearbox has original "button" for it :D the M/S stands for Manual/Sport, when you shift it there it enables sport mode and does the same trick(gearbox allows for higher rpm's before shifting to next gear). It only enables manual mode when you actually use + or - to shift gears manually, just give it a try and you will see.

So its a switch to turn the sport setting indicator on! Right so cool bro. One thing I have learnt about BMW's is just buy the right car. You found the car you like test drive it to the dealers and get the build sheet for it. Biggest reason for me is there are multiple stereo systems available to choose from, when the purchaser decides what options they want. Other than the stereo, everything else is just splitting hairs, because its such a sweet ride. Color and stereo.

I can 100% confirm that this cable greatly improved the acceleration in my 2007 530i. I have the ZF auto transmission. The car accelerates much faster, along with much tighter steering when in the "Sport" mode that this button provides. "Sport" mode differs greatly (in a good way) from DS mode, the mode accessed with the gear shifter. Big improvement for a measly $30 and 30 minutes of my time.

in the video i didn't say it will increase HP, the sport button IS a feature from factory, but to add it cost over $250 in parts alone i just show people how to do it cheap and on your own. the steering gets a little stiffer, and the throttle response better. of course the rpm shifting changes as well. the video shows ALL that, no tricks here, look at my other videos, im just here to show people how to do cool stuff to their e60's, not trying to get people to do anything to waste their time.

This mod is different than putting the automatic in D/S mode! This is a feature that is aviable in newer BMW's. This is the same as putting the car in 'sport or sport+' like in the F-series BMW. Disabling the 'sport mode' puts the car back in 'comfort mode'. Later, BMW added 'ECO mode' aswell to the F-series. So what does it do in Sport mode? Better throttle respons and maybe a bit havier steering (since the E60 has a hydraulic steering, it's already heavier), etc like the sport+ in the F-Series BMW.

With it on, you can notice how it's shifting around 5,600-5,800 RPM, and despite camera error, you can still see it shifting around the 1:00 mark of the gauge, or roughly 4,000 RPM. Higher RPM = higher engine output; more "butt dyno" is not bad for a $14 mod; I've spent more on women and didn't even get a kiss. I'm commenting as someone with automotive common sense; I am NOT affiliated with roskinc in any way, shape or form, but I'm willing to buy from him once I buy a BMW next month.

If the mod changes the steering weight as well so you can use the "manual shifting" mode with enhanced steering feel then this is very worthwhile. From what I can gather this may be part of the "sports automatic transmission" option. What's more it's possible that when the sports buttons is pressed that the box may "auto blip" when changing down in manual shift mode....anyone checked this out?. Whatever the above it's a nice find. .

The sport mode just sharpens up throttle response, it shifts faster and it will rev before it puts in the next gear, nothinh strange about it. I have driven a bmw 760Li for 1500 km with this functionality, it has comfort,normal, sport and sport plus mode. in the comfort mode it doesn't change gear more than absolutely necessary which isn't often as you have 750 Nm of torque between 1500 and 5000 rpm :-)

I have a momentary switch / cable on order. Where can I get those fancy cleated cable ends? I feel for you having to deal with these ignorant comments. DS does not equal SAT, which is what you're unlocking by shorting 8 and 10. SAT changes steering, auto shift points, gear changes become more 'dramatic' and throttle response increases beyond DS.

Unless you're just messing with us, with sport mode turned on I'm hearing the engine wind up a lot higher in between shifts. That's not subjective, that's the engine spinning up to take advantage of the torque available in highers RPM's that you don't normally get to use. I believe this is for real. I say this because my 2002 325cic has a lot of grunt up near the redline, so that's where you want to be for more power. Thanks for the video, dude!

If any one could answer this for me that would be great looking into getting a 535i estate and I would love to know if this made that big of a difference.

I tried this mod ages ago, and honestly, there is no difference in anything, just placebo effect, and a whole forum thread about this agree on that. Cars with sports driving mode have aditional hardware, different gearbox, and different software, etc. This only enables the "sports" text in the dashboard nothing else. That text is there simply because BMW uses the same cluster and other parts in different platforms, there was no e60 with this "sports" mode option from factory, that was only intended for 3 series.

Roberto Merino What E60 do you have? I have a 545i and i can tell you that my car drives completely different. The throttle response is sharper and the gear changes are more aggressive, under brakes the car will shift down on its own to a much lower gear then normal, aiding in reducing speed into a corner but also being ready to accelerate back out. The normal M/S Mode does not even respond as quick, even if i manually select. Both the gearbox and the Engine management have pre installed software settings to do with mapping of accelerator position vs throttle and gear change parameters. all E60 run on there default setting and if you had bought a E60 with the M pack options this sports mode would be included. All this would do would allow you to toggle between its default settings or its second set of settings. it makes sense that BMW would do this as it means they don't have to add additional hardware as its just software based and only add the switch to the vehicles optioned under the M banner, it keeps the costs down. its no different to adding in options like opening and closing windows from the key fob which is a stranded feature on a 545i but not on a base E60 but with a recoding of the software all E60's can do it. they all share common modules, wiring harnesses etc. all car manufactures do this.

bo05ts I have a 535d M packet. The thing is that this "sports mode" was never offered for the e60 as an option. So it seems the software side is not present in the hardware, even if the switch in the cluster is present (as the cluster pcb is the same the use in the e90 and others). Closing windows with key fob was present from factory on mine, it is standard on the E60, only depending on Region. That is a different story.

Roberto Merino have a read of this, 04_E60 Driveline.pdf - M5board.com It explains the E60 driveline setup and how all the control modules work together and the FDC (Sports mode) you will see that all the required hardware is present along with the software in all E60's. The only thing missing is the switch to trigger it all as i mentioned earlier.

It's still short shifting from 3rd gear onwards. I have a 635d m pack and it learns your own style by using sport mode and using the manual option with paddle shift. Use it often enough and your car will learn your shift preference over s short period. Mine is a diesel with 386 PSI and 704 Nm due to remap. Don't even think of economy. It burns the oil quickly when you drive it with enthusiasm !

What a bunch of stupid people, I know the BMWs cause I worked for the brand and I can tell this thing doesn't do shit guys. Think about it one minute, do you think BMW would put a sport mode on every serie 5 just for fun and wouldn't allow people to use it except with this tricky little cable? This cable is nothing but an illusion, all it does is turning the "Sport" light on, that's it, just a light, nothing more, and as you people are persuaded that it's magic, you have the impression that it changed, but it didn't. This "sport" light is present on every BMW e60-e61 as it is the exactly same dashboard on every serie 5, even if there is not sport mode. Jesus.

+BXtremP I just installed a cable today, and wouldn't you know, it works. Press button while cruising and it will immediately downshift so it goes up into higher rpms. The throttle response is much quicker. And when slowing down it will downshift earlier so the car is ready for hard acceleration once you clip an apex. :) In reality what costs money is for car makers is having to do things differently for each model, just better to keep the already programmed Sport mode for luxury models and just skip the button. And then you can charge $1000 extra for this luxury while we who have installed the button ourselves knows that it only costs $1 in reality. Volvo did the same thing, use the same engine for two differently priced models, just make sure you tune down the engine so it doesn't produce as much horsepower in the cheapo model. Really great for chip tuners who can unlock 30 hp with just a ROM upgrade.

I thought on the e60s that in order to go into sport mode you just push the shifter to the left for auto shifting but if you don't auto shift on the dash it says s so I figured that was for sport mode am I wrong? And what he's doing here is more of a transmission sport mode maybe? I'm not sure I'm on my first BMW now and it's a 2010 E60 with the n54

This is cool, even if you could just set the gear shift to manual mode, and let it protect itself from redline and shift for you, this is still cool. Can you hit the button, and turn the car off, then back on again, or does it reset with power down? Also, is that a momentary switch or click open/click closed circuit switch?
