What are your daily driving settings? And is there a way to change defaults?

Anyone know how to change the settings the car starts up with?

Also, curious what settings everyone typically drives around with:

Throttle -
Steering -
Suspension -
Drivelogic -

I still have not taken re-delivery, but asked this same question regarding start-up mode at the Welt and was told the default settings are not programmable.

I believe the M1 and M2 buttons are your friends here :-)

From what I have read the default settings are always:
Throttle - Efficient
Steering - Comfort
Suspension - Comfort
Drivelogic – Low
HUD – Standard
Drive - Auto

I rarely have my car in default mode, usually straight into M1 when the family is with me (70% of the time):
Throttle – Sport Plus
Steering - Sport
Suspension - Comfort
Drivelogic – Medium
HUD – Standard
Drive - Auto

On my own there is only one setting; M2:
Throttle - Sport Plus
Steering - Sport Plus
Suspension - Sport Plus
Drivelogic – High
HUD – Sport / Rev Counter
Drive – Auto (but switch to manual quite a bit)

Whats Drivelogic? Is that something to do with DCT? I have 6MT...

Occasionally I drive in default settings when I'm feeling "meh".

Most other times I drive:

M1 (for street driving)
- Throttle: Sport
- Suspension: Sport+
- Steering: Sport+
- Traction: Fully OFF

M2 (for Highway driving)
- Throttle: Sport
- Suspension: Sport+
- Steering: Sport+
- Traction: MDM

If weather is bad, I keep traction fully on.

Does anyone know if the suspension (damping?) settings result in the car being lowered in the sport/plus modes?
