I have M1 for launch control, M2 for getting rowdy, im slowly bumping up the traction control levels, no need to go straight to 10 🤣
pressing either of the M buttons off reverts back to comfort, no need to preset for it.
Same as me! I just changed my M2 to enable TC ON and explained why earlier.

Two things to note:
1- TC Levels going up mean “more” traction control, so less slip. 0 is full off. 10 is the least permissive.
2- MDM is already between 4 and 7, so having TC on 4 might be the same thing as MDM in many cases.

Yeah i was backwards on that, i meant to go to 0 not 10 haha

And Ive also changed my settings on M1 and M2. M1 is now MDM, M2 is now 0 traction control. I tried launching with traction control at 1, at 10, same minimal wheel spin, doesnt feel like there is any difference, maybe its a sideways style traction control? 0 is definitely different. Smoke, smoke, and more smoke.

After fiddling a bit I settled on the following for M2;

Engine: Sport+
Suspension: Sport+ (I kept trying comfort but it is just a little too soft for me when driving spiritedly).
Brakes: Sport. (I spent some time going back and forth and I like sport).
Steering: Comfort
MDM traction control



My M1 is set up to be my "stock" set up, just sport on the engine, for days like today when it's rainy and such. I'm hoping Bimmercode can let me make "sport" engine be the default state so I can use M1 for more aggression than it's currently set at. I'd like to make the M2 setting and the make M2 even more aggressive, such as very low traction control. All of that said, it is easy to adjust the settings on the fly so I may still set up M1 and M2 that way anyway. I have the "setup" widget as the first widget on my screen so it's quick to change things.

I just love that we have so many ways to configure things to each individual taste. It's fun to play around with.

Yes, well and it’s giving me a bit of a head start in how I might approach my own settings. I will report back after I play around a bit after delivery. I just got my vin today so inching closer.
