As for the other useless garbage that comes with this BMW marketing campaign, you will play with these once and then forget about it. The only useful feature from there you can use is a lap timer and I am completely confused as to why it is part of the package when it is just a phone app that connects with the car?! Dumb...
Only thing that could be useful is the 10 stage Traction control, it's added safety for someone who is beginning at driving on track but I guess for someone like me with a bit more experience you end up putting everything off after a few laps.

If someone feels totally usage driving his M car with everything off maybe he should begin with a less potent/powerful car anyways..
