Electronic controls settings/effects

yomny · 03-08-2011, 11:23 AM

Just wondering first of all in what package does M Drive belong to in the US, aside from that, what effect does the servotronic steering mechanism have when set to sport or normal? Is it true that with the power button set to sport or sport plus the throttle will open bit more at the end or does it just remap the pedal so the travel of it is more sensitive to throttle position? Thanks

Power button = remap throttle settings. doesn't really do anything physically, but you can def. notice it.

Thanks, thats what i thought since its what it does on most other cars with this feature, lexus, c300... thanks

Anyone else have any explanations for the steering and the M drive questions.

Check the web site and it will give you more info. Not just throttle but EDC plus more ...

MDrive is standard in the US now. Note that if you also order IDrive (either standalone, or by ordering the ZCV convenience package) then you get slightly more MDrive customization. This latter fact is not really made clear on the BMW website anywhere as far as I know. Details of this are available on the forum - it has been discussed in the past couple days in fact.

Your other two questions can be answered via a search of the forum. Try using google.com and in your search include the term "site:www.m3post.com" to narrow results to this forum.
