Alternatively, ECU reflashes that affect throttle sensitivity, among other things, are now becoming more commonly available for the N52.

The one thing these don't affect is the steering response. I suspect someone would have to hack around with our electric steering systems to access this aspect of the sport button as well.
You may be right, but I hope not. I do agree that the real question is if it could be done economically. I would think that someone like Diokaef may be able to build a plug in chip/circuit/? which would automatically activate the sport function when the car was turned on. This would also increase the steering resistance which for me would be an additional positive.
