Assign M Mode to M Button?
Seems like the car always starts in the "Road" M Mode rather than "Sport". Is there a way to change the default or to map a certain m mode to an m button? Otherwise I find myself having to press both the M1 (to get the settings) and M Mode (to turn off annoying driving intervention features + get the sport gauge) buttons every time I start the car.

The M Mode button beside the gear shifter brings you in to M mode with the M heads up display and turns off some of the interventions. The halo button beside the air vent also can turn off the driver aids
Or do you need something else? |

Is it really that big of a deal to press M1 and M Mode? It takes 2 seconds. Or do you want it to start that way for a cold start?

Sure but when leaving my residential neighborhood with its slow speeds, not sure what Sport+ does for me. Perfectly happy to engage it when I have the appropriate driving conditions.

It should be an option in the M1/M2 menu. It's something so simple that we would all like.

Follow-up question - when you set your drive settings with M1 for example, and then set Sport with the M Mode button - which dynamic drive settings are retained? Reason I ask is because M Mode not only disables drive assistants and sets the gauge screen, it also sets everything to sport except ASS, DCS, and sound (which are hard buttons). Just trying to understand the end-to-end logic of M1/M2, M Mode, drive assistants, and the dynamic settings. Wish there was a flow chart...

This is the biggest usability fail, IMO. My M2 button is set to S3 tranny setting. When in S3, I want the tach in the HUD. In my F80, I could just press my M2 button and it would also change my HUD view.
They thought to add a sound control setting in M1/M2, but not this? Very annoying.

I know it's just pushing one extra button, and I'm used to it now, but would be convenient if it were tied to my M2 button automatically.

Does it not set engine, chassis, steering, brakes, etc. to SPORT when you put it in Sport mode? Just wondering if those override any of the same settings as saved in M1/M2. For example let's say you have Sport+ engine and comfort steering saved in M1. After pressing M1 then you press M Mode to select Sport. Does engine stay Sport+ and steering stay Comfort or do they all change to Sport?

To give you a better idea of how it flows: I either choose m1 or m2 depending what setup I want for the drive. Then I select the M mode button to change the display if desired (which is most of the time). |
