You can adjust the settings in the idrive menu, but I'm not aware of methods to engage M mode through anything other than the steering wheel button.

Could have it coded in as your default/startup mode maybe.

Obviously you can still adjust edc, throttle response, and turn dsc off if you're comfortable with that. I don't think there's another M mode button though man.

Side note -- believe voice command can only be accessed from the wheel as well. BMW doesn't plan on owners replacing the stock wheel and all its functions with a race wheel...
