I don't have MDrive, but if I did I would probably hit the M button at startup everytime, yes. However, this would basically only buy me the ability to enable S5 Drivelogic mode with a single button click instead of two clicks on the Drivelogic switch. However, I suspect I would then subsequently be hitting the DSC button on most occasions to switch out of MDM mode (you can't set the M button to DSC ON for a car with no IDrive). So overall it wouldn't save me much. So maybe I wouldn't use it at startup after all. Actually, you know what, I still probably would since my Drivelogic switch is beginning to wear out from so much use (it sticks now), so I'd probably use the M button sometimes just to keep the wear on that switch down. Also, I'd probably want Servotronic sport if I had it, and that can only be enabled via the M button. Who knows, I might even use Sport+ Power, but I really doubt it.
