I cannot for the life of me drive this car with the power mode on without bucking back and forth in 1st or even 2nd sometimes.

Even if im gentle on the throttle I get sucked into my back seat at 10% and let off and go flying forward and it just starts a chain of oscillation.

I've just been driving with power mode off. It's too bad I'd like to use it.
How did you guys get used to it. It legitimately pisses me off.
You may have to get a tune with a more linear throttle map. But maybe try the M3 GTS transmission tune, I think that could be one to test out (albeit it's TCU) but does change some initial characteristics that may be sufficient for you. I think you can get it free, though not completely sure.
I assume you're using Power mode because the car lacks low end torque and difficult to get moving? Get a BPM Stage 1 (stage 2 if you're catless) engine tune, it will fix both the low end torque and throttle response issue.

No I just want to be able to use it period. The normal mode is kinda sluggish imo.

I should've mentioned I'm manual transmission and completely stock cats and exhaust system (which I want to keep that way).
All power does it change the throttle response, it does not change the amount of power available. Just leave it off.

I agree regarding the BPM tune. It improves throttle and torque, both low-end and at highway speeds. It’s amazing how well it works and is worth every penny.
