Default Sport button

Anyone aware of a hack that'll reverse the Sport button protocal, eg comes on automatically, push to stop?

I think that would a great feature, since I almost always use them. Is it possible?

The sport button has to be the biggest waste of a piece of plastic on the entire car!

It will be cool if there's a way to retrofit it via steering wheel instead of the center console.

I like the Sports button, the only thing I wish it did is always go to the last setting used

One reason why the sport button resets with every new start is because BMW thought too many people would forget it was on when starting, and because of the throttle remap put the car through a wall, much the same-same as DSC.
