Ha! Yes, you need time to read the manual...in my case, I had to google some videos too bc I am a slow learner....post some pics!

Would you suggest making chassis on sport (says something about damping) - this is making it stiffer ?

Im a bit confused with these options - there's one afterwards that has DSC options, m2 is pre programmed with DSC as something else ive never seen before. I don't really want to turn DSC off as I want the slip correction for snow or rain etc.

Anyone have link that explains each one or have the patients to go through it? There was some M 4x4 option as well.

You can program the M1 and M2 modes with whatever settings you like. I left DSC on in both of my programs but had everything else set less aggressively in M1 for comfort and fuel efficiency and the M2 was for more aggressive / sport-plus type settings. But totally up to you.

My 2022 allowed me to get the radio presents on my HUD - I would press the button with the 3 lines on the steering wheel and it would show radio favourites, Siri, news etc.... the 2024 has a different functionality with this button - is there a way to program it ?

Follow the break-in process, make sure both keys work, ensure eSIM works (my telemetrics unit required replacement), see if you can get free all-weather mats etc.

for those in Canada or US (not sure if it applies) - why is there no spare ? these are not run flats ? are they obligated to provide a spare or is that dealer specific ? Anyone know the rules on this

They come or at least should come with the BMW Mobility Kit. Which is a tire repair kit. It fills the tire with sealant and reinflates the tire. You can drive on it then for another 100-150 miles at 50 mph or so.

Don't be intimidated, you will learn the car in no time and love it! BMW dealerships have a "BMW Genius" on site to help you with the iDrive system software. Let him set it up for you, connect your phone, set your preferences etc, you already paid for this service.
Congrats and enjoy the delivery experience.

The X5M and X6M can be ordered (at least in the US) with a spare tire at no charge.
