The M button is a programmable button that can be preset/personalized to control several different functions: EDC, Power, MDM, and Servotronic. When the M button is pressed, all of your presets are pulled up. The power button controls throttle response.

But in the M5 the M button gives it 100 more hp.


That is not the case in M3.... kinda makes me think that it's not "as awesome" as the one in the M5.
