MDM mode

Finally had the b@lls to try the MDM mode last night on some lovely roads.
What can I say! THERE IS A GOD! Or at least some awesome M Car tuners.
The car felt so playful but so controllable (if that makes sense).
I think I have an addiction... The wife thinks I have problem.
She might be right!

Absolutely agree it's worth all the money you pay for an M. If you ever track it though care should be taken at high speed as I read from another poster who had a 'moment' with MDM on and only quick correct reaction kept him on the straight and narrow.

Eventually (hopefully) you will drive it enough to start learning the limits. MDM is a great way to help with that. I do enjoy having it when I want it. Eventually you will want it full off and learn to use the throttle and gear changes to accelerate fastest.

Trust in your ability and give it a go! Don't go mental and you will be fine.

Not intending to track it to be honest. Saying that only time will tell.
For now late night country road runs is all I need to keep me a very happy boy.
