Favorite settings

I just bought an 2013 E92 M3 with DCT and Competition package

What is the consensus on the best settings for the M button on the steering wheel?

m-drive/dampers: Sport
steering: Sport
throttle: Sport (sport plus is too "digital", you lose fine control)
DSC: OFF!!!

Throttle normal your foot should be in control.

I got the top secret M Sport Package on mine so when you hit the M button it's like having a SC system...can't divulge actual numbers, because this is TOP Secret stuff...

Recommending DSC Off to a new M driver is foolish. learn the car in M Dynamic Mode (MDM) before turning DSC off. Then go do a track day and play with it disabled

I am not recommending it by any means. It's just how I drive my car.

MDM only, the rest unchanged. Have EDC in normal from start, usually push power button once half warmed up. Regardless, when pushing M for a sudden drift I don't want throttle and chassi to change the second before only to misguide me.

I always have mine in "kill" mode
