All my m button does is turn on MDM and Sport Power now that I installed the KW. I honestly hate the throttle response in normal mode so I drive in M mode almost all the time. Having it in normal mode seems to really make the DCT lag show.

Anyway I worry about driving in S4/MDM all the time. I wonder if S4 + GTS DCT tune = early demise of my DCT. Oh well I won't keep this mofo after warranty anyway lol.

throttle contributes to speed of DCT? you need a heavier foot.

You know you can have your key setting default to sport throttle so you don't even have to hit the M button right?
