Key dependent settings
I don't have my owners manual since I left it at the dealer. After my ridiculously long visit at the dealer yesterday I only had about 1 minute to discuss the car settings. In my m3 you could go into I drive and there was a screen for key dependent settings. How do I do that in the m5. I cannot find it in the I drive. I checked the owners manual online:
http://www.usermanualsguide.com/down...nual-Sedan.pdf Maybe it's the wine, but if cannot figure this out. I want my key to be sport sport sport., S2. How do I program this. One more problem. I let my wife drive the car around the neighborhood. I have been in and driven some incredible sedans. This may be the best family car, period. Thanks, E

Yes, I looked at that. However, the three times I have gotten in the car since I left the dealer the car is in efficiency, comfort, comfort. I have changed these to sport for all three but the key does not seem to be remembering.

Every time you start your car the default setting will be loaded (efficiency/comfort/comfort/D1, DSC ON) However, the personal profile remembers the configuration you have selected as M1/M2

With my E46 SMG the shift speed did stay on the previous setting, but on the E92, it always defaulted to S3.

Check this out: Set the last setting to S3. Turn off the car and turn it on again. It goes back to P correct?. push the lever to right and it goes to D1. Push it one more time and it goes to S3!

I believe the logic behind this default setting (comfort/D1/DSC ON) makes sense. pressing a button twice every time you get in the car is not a big deal... IMO

My wife does not drive my cars unless she has to
In m3 I was able to set it up in a default configuration, it looks like an extra protection I have no need for... |
