M3 Driving Modes
Read an article recently that the M3 would have three driving modes, much like the current F30 does. The article stated they would be Comfort, Sport, and Sport+. However I couldn't find anywhere what the default mode would be.
Does anyone have an idea or heard/read something that clarified this? It'd be great if the default was Sport, and Comfort essentially acted as the Eco Pro mode for the m3. |

+1 Takes a while to find the combination of suspension, throttle and steering settings that you like for daily driving, then which ones you want when you push the M button

Yeah it is annoying, but just becomes part of the pre-drive routine. Fasten seatbelt, plug in iPhone, select the device on I Drive, find a good song, start car, release handbrake, unfold mirrors, switch to Sport +, put car in drive, accelerate into the abyss.

I'm hoping it is key dependent/iDrive dependent like the E9X M3. If not, ah well. Not a deal breaker like phishhead24 said.

My point was between key memory settings and iDrive settings, I could get into my M3, start it up, and be in Sport+/Power/etc. each and every time without touching a thing. The F30's should have provided those same customizable attributes, and I wager that the F8X will.

Hahah! Thinking about the other drivers eh? Good on you. I felt the same way with bikes. I'd leave my TC on so that myself and Mr.HighSide didn't become acquainted. Me and Mr.LowSide are fairly good friends though. LOL! Nowadays I rarely go down and I'm a demon on the brakes. I can't pop a wheelie, but I can indo my bike on the brakes and lean that bitch over and blow kisses at the pavement. Damn I love tracking/racing! |
