I was falling in love with my 2008 E90 M3 all over again this weekend, and I realized I hadn't been pressing the M button much. I've got the button tuned for sport throttle (not sport plus), standard suspension (the middle one), steering stays at comfort, and I leave the traction control on since I don't want to meet Mr. Guardrail.

It's so much fun to be pushed back in my seat and listen to the engine sing. The M button is the fun enhancer.

I've been reading about what a torque monster the new 2015 M3 is, but I wanted to get out and hoon the old E90. I was NOT disappointed.

I don't have an M button should I feel bad? I have to manually set things up. FML

My ritual is:

1. Start car
2. Plug in iPhone
3. Choose song of choice
4. Traction control off
5. Seatbelt

You can. It's called key dependent settings.

Well I've had my M for two days and I have pressed it every time I drive it. Just saw I'm averaging 8.9mpg. Yikes!

I don't have navigation, so I don't believe that is an option?!?!?
