Change default startup settings

skypx · 10-07-2013, 08:03 PM

Hey guys, how do I change the default startup settings? This is for throttle response, dampers and steering. Thanks.

can't be done.

M1 and M2 buttons only quick option.

skypx · 10-07-2013, 08:15 PM

Ok, thanks guys.

This was a surprise to me also. You can setup default settings in an M3 but not an M5.

Yeah. Drives you nuts but a quick push and you're good.

Neil McRae · 10-08-2013, 01:10 PM

it's stupid.

I think BMW is obligated to do this, at least with the shift points, in order to state certain MPG....OR maybe I just made that up.

Not in my 2010 M3. Same stupid issue.

agree, weird for the car able to save your profile and stereo settings but cant save anything else. for a car to be so customisable, its silly that every time I get into the car I have to turn off ac, push m2 twice, push ok, go to random on ipod before even getting out of the garage.

I think the only way is through coding.

This must be soooooo much hard work for you, gym sessions may help.

Why do you push M2 twice?

goto M settings, press option. set defaults.

skypx · 10-12-2013, 02:20 PM

Doesn't work. After hitting options while in the m menu, there is a "Settings" option there but I can't even select it.

It has you confirm your selection any time you have an M button setting that disables traction control.
