Button under gas peddle???

I noticed a funny clicking feeling when flooring my 63, so when I looked under the peddle I found that there is a little black button that is pressed when the car is floored...

Does anyone know what this is for???

Same thing. When you go into kickdown, the car will downshift if it can/necessary and will shift at even higher speeds/rpms.

We've just confirmed that the button itself doesn't do anything. It's all in the computer. Check out the printbooster thread in the E55 section.
