M3 Settings

M3Kevin · 03-30-2008, 10:04 PM

Anyone have information or details about the settings for the car?

What's the M button "supposed" to do? EDC? Comfort, sport, Sport plus.

I know what the manual says, but it's well - short and missing in details.

I know there's gotta be some stuff around here that really spells it all out?

It is a macro button.

It just allows multiple settings to be called up at the press of a button, and returned to the previous setting with another press.

My setup:

Start car:

DSC ON, POWER SPORT, EDC NORMAL, STEERING NORMAL

Press M button:

DSC MDM, POWER SPORT+, EDC SPORT, STEERING SPORT

Press M button again:

DSC ON, POWER SPORT, EDC NORMAL, STEERING NORMAL

You can set it to whatever you like!

Please correct me if I am wrong on these and/or fill in the blanks?

MDM?

DSC = Dynamic Stability Control?
Controls how the car response to slip angles and slides.

EDC = Electronic Damping Control?
Controls the stiffness of the ride

MDM, M Dynamic Mode, is an intermediary DSC setting, in which the computer allows some wheel spin and tail sliding.

You really should read your manual.

Agreed. He says he read it but...
