I use M1 for a "slight bump" in performance - Sport Steering, Sport Throttle, Comfort Suspension, D2 shifts, DSC normal, no change in the HUD.
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....  |
My settings are very similiar :
M1: Sport throttle, sport steering, comfort suspension ,DSC On, D2
M2: Sport plus throttle, sport plus steering, sport suspension, DSC Off, S3
M2 is always ready for Launch Control. For those who complain how hard it is to engage, set M2 like above and practice a few times. Incredible...
Also, when the M5 is turned on, all settings default to comfort, high efficiency settings for fuel mileage purposes. I typically keep it there until the car is warmed up - however I will just change the shift setting to D2. I don't care for D1 in any setting. D2 seems to be the right mix of engagement for me
