So what does the Sport button actually do?

I read my Owners Manual for my '08 R55 Clubman concerning the the sport mode and it said that it tightened up the steering and the throttle response. It does both of those things, but it doesn't mention any suspension changes.
My question is; if it has no effect on springs or shocks, why do they specify a different front shock for sport equipped models?

I'm sure the sports button has no effect there

Check your Mini and fuel
I owned a 2007 R56 and now a 2013 R58. They both responded equally when in sport mode: stiffer steering, quicker throttle response, and exhaust burble. Perhaps those that say they don’t notice a difference in engine throttle response or exhaust sound, are you running less than premium fuel, or do you have check engine light? These cars are smart. If the engine is cold, isn’t running perfect or you have low grade fuel, it protects itself by reducing performance.
