1200 Mile Service Problem

Lee-69 · 09-23-2011, 12:19 PM

Hi Guys, wondering if anyone has encountered the same problem as me.

I have just had my 1200 mile service carried by local BMW dealer, everything appears to be OK except when I select the M button via the steering wheel.
Before the 1200 mile service I did select the m button a few times to see what the car was capable of (m drive was set up sport + drivelogic 5 etc) and I was mighty impressed espically on the motorway when cruising at 70 in drivelogic 2 I would select m button and off it went like we all now know what acceleration the M3 is capable of.

My problem is that when I select the M button there is no response whatsoever, there is no kick down acceleration at all, its as if the m button doesnt work anymore yet the settings are still the same when I check i drive.

Anyone got any ideas?

This may be something you already looked at.. but
you have to program your "M" button in the iDrive...
maybe when you dealer took your car out for a joy ride s/he did like your setting and changed them

or software update... that clears up the settings as well..
