M Settings?

Dr. Happy · 06-26-2014, 03:29 PM

No doubt the question has been raised before but what's your choice when it comes to the M1 / M2 buttons / settings?

Wdh777 · 06-26-2014, 04:01 PM

M1 all sport, m2 all sport plus.

M2 - the above but Transmission in D2

(Most of Time drive M1).

M2: Same like M1, but with MDM on..(when its rainy or something.

M1:

HUD: normal
Throttle: sport
Suspension: comfort
Steering: sport
Trans: S2

M2:

When I'm on track, all M2 settings are sport+, trans is S3, and I use MDM mode.

Sport Plus steering is designed for straight autobahn cruising. If you are turning the wheel (track, canyon, etc), use comfort steering.

ManhattanBMW · 06-29-2014, 06:49 AM

M1:

HUD: normal
Throttle: sport+
Suspension: sport
Steering: comfort
Trans: D3
DSC: on

Have these setting so the car can react a bit more quickly in slow moving traffic, and I still have my Nav projected onto the HUD. Just punch M1 when I need it, and then return to regular settings to preserve some fuel economy.

M2:

HUD: M display
Throttle: sport +
Suspension: sport
Steering: comfort
Trans: S3
DSC: on

This is when I want to use the paddle shifters, and like having the M display on the HUD.
