[QUOTE="bimmerholic, post: 455345, member: 16686"] [url]http://www.meeknet.co.uk/E38/bmw_e38_buying_guide.htm[/url] This link shows that there's difference in the[B] torque converter & differential[/B] for non-Msport vs. Msport models. Quoted from the site: "The true Sports models have two items that define the marque, a [B]high stall-speed torque-converter and a lower-ratio differential[/B], the correct option number for this is S204A." [B]Or you can carry out the OBC test:[/B] Use OBC hidden function 8 to display KPH; set cruise to 123KPH on a level road (the speedo will show 80MPH/128KPH as it over-reads by 4%) Use OBC hidden function 7/2 to show RPM A[B] non-Sport[/B] model will show [B]2305 - 2310 RPM[/B] A[B] Sport[/B] model will show [B]2475 - 2480 RPM [/B] [B]Alternatively, without using any hidden functions:[/B] Set the cruise so that the speedometer shows exactly 80MPH when in 5th gear. The instruments will look like this: [INDENT][INDENT][INDENT][INDENT][INDENT][/INDENT][B][COLOR="DarkOrange"][COLOR="Red"][B]NON-M SPORT[/B][/COLOR][/COLOR][/B][/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT] [IMG]http://www.meeknet.co.uk/E38/Instruments_80_NSport.jpg[/IMG] [INDENT][INDENT][INDENT][INDENT][B][COLOR="DarkOrange"][INDENT][B][COLOR="Red"]M SPORT[/COLOR][/B][/INDENT][/COLOR][/B][/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT] [IMG]http://www.meeknet.co.uk/E38/Instruments_80_Sport.jpg[/IMG] My memory serves me right after all....:D [/QUOTE]
