That's a good point.

I agree, I'll probably only use the M drive pro when I'm on a track. And as much as I want to be on a track, there's just none around where I am to go to. I still have not taken my F82 M4 around the track the last 5 years I've had it.

I expect to mostly drive my G80 M xDrive in 4WD or 4WD Sport (or whatever they call the rear-bias AWD mode). I may do an occasional track day but I'm not into autocross or drifts & donuts. I may switch to RWD when I want to let the tail loose and have some safe fun on a twisty road or if I'm doing a u-turn at that one traffic light close to our home in the middle of the night  I can see how having variable traction control support in RWD mode can be beneficial, but I'm not sure I "need" it or even use it enough to actually learn the different settings  |
I'm expecting to drive my G80 xDrive mostly in AWD mode as well, even if I go on a track. I can imagine the only time I will drive in 2WD would be a time that I want DSC completely off, as I now occasionally turn off to do some power slides on the street. I would only use the M Drive pro in a specific occasion on the track to practice drifting, but I don't think I'm good enough of a driver to drift like the way they do on the youtube videos
