I use M2 for more aggressive Driving - Sport + Steering, Sport + Throttle, Sport Suspension, D3 Shift mode, DSC normal, M HUD mode.

I don't use Sport + Suspension Mode street driving and I don't use MDM or DSC OFF for typical street driving. If there are rare circumstances where I want MDM or Sport + suspension modes I can always reach down and press the button. Also, it is very easy to switch transmission modes by just hitting the steering wheel paddles to take it from D to M (S). Of course, your mileage may vary....
Wow, nice and thorough ! Thx

Any one else's reasoning is very appreciated

Thx again
