Ive never driven in D since the first week I got the F10. In winter I leave it in the default Efficient, Comfort, Comfort, but just drop it into S2. M1 is Sport + throttle, Sport + suspension, Sport Steering with no M view, so I can use Navi, S3. M2 is all of the above, with M view, for when I know where Im going.

On a side note, it may seem weird to drive in grandma mode all through winter, but Im on winters, crappy roads, cold temps - and I have no desire to really push it. I dropped it into M1 the other day and it felt like a totally different car. Ive seem the pdf where it states the exhaust valves do not open until 3k rpm, but I swear its instantly louder in sport+ throttle under all conditions.

And NO MDM for me yet, I dont really want to mess with that until I go to M school - I dont want to pretend like I can handle it. Perhaps in an empty parking lot one day.
