Unhappy the sport plus button??

on my F10 m5 you would push the sport plus button and the car would jerk faster as soon as you pushed it, so you felt a difference!

on this new M5 when you push the sport plus from sport you feel ZERO difference

anyone else notice this?

You need to press it twice.
Once to select and once to confirm.

Did you do this?

I belive he means one of three sport buttons on the centre console.

I feel a difference for all three, especially suspension and steering, throttle yes I can tell it requires less pedal movement to achieve better response.
The most one I notice is the gear speed selector when it is in sport plus on the shifter.

suspension and steering I feel, although not as much as in the F10 but the engine button, is VERY subtle, in the F10 you push it and the car jerks forward it was awesome,

I feel they took some of the fun away by putting in this transmission even the paddles feel so small and cheap, its a friggin M5 put in some big paddles

I compare this car more to my 2013 550 with a dinan stage 2 than I do my f10 M5
