Drove to the nearest outlet malls today (after a looong winter), to get a real feel of my TP's and BPM stage 2 tune....I am still speechless how it made my day with a smile from ear to ear.

Daily routine:

1). Wait until engine up to operating temps
2). Engage M button
3). Smile real wide

There's always time to mess around with an M3.

Sometimes I get side-tracked with the M button and take the long way home.

FLOSS M · 05-03-2014, 08:47 AM

I thought the M button is default to the "ON" position - LOL

I have been on a vacation in Hawaii the past week and waiting for my plane at LAX currently... There are 3 things that I miss about home: my girlfriend, my dog, and my car. I can't wait to push the m button and go for a spirited drive when I get home in a few hours.

Who needs an m button? I don't get it. Reminds me of the m5 where you had to push a button to get the remaining horsepower. No option cars have m on all the time! It's only button is DSC on/off

M button doesn't add any power

It's just a way to save your "favorites" among the various settings.

I'm well aware of that, the throttle response just goes up, so I wasn't use to that. The reason why I don't drive in M mode all the time is A) I can barely keep up with having to fill my tank B) Can't really go that far in traffic and C) It gets annoying having to slam on the brakes every time I see a pothole..

When alone, I always drive with M on. With my wife or other passengers, it's off. The normal throttle response is almost too slow for smooth rev matching when downshifting.

mamadub · 05-03-2014, 04:37 PM

The M button is always engaged when I'm driving!
