I think we actually need 16 modes. That way the car can be configured to your specific environment, enhancing the level of connection to the machine.

Yes, but it's pretty cool. When I posted I was actually thinking more of the Veyron key that puts the car in high speed mode when you're going to be pushing it hard. Not the Hellcat key.
Inconvenient it may be, but it's also badass. |

Just to add to what Lups said, not only do I want to see a Race Mode, but I think they should also add:
Color Mode Age Mode Ethnicity Mode Religion Mode Creed Mode National Origin Mode Pregnancy Mode Sexual Orientation Mode Gender Identity Mode Genetic Information Mode Physical Characteristics Mode Sex Mode Marital Status Mode Disability Mode Veteran Status Mode And then, as a community, I truly think we should all agree not to discriminate against anyone on the basis of their settings in those modes. For example, I would set mine to a bright purple, 66 year old, bisexual Kung Fu priestess robot swordfish from the fourth moon rising of the planet V Orlon Six, who identifies as a giant, she-male, corn stalk serving in the United Federation of anti-rebel, gene-splicing, sea turtle, time pirates, pregnant with my first nano-mechanical Columbian coffee maker. Oh, and I would set my Creed Mode to either Apollo or Scott Stapp, depending on tire size. And God (... or other higher power!) damnit, I'd expect you all to accept it! |

I think the car should just quiz you whenever you start it, to poll how you're feeling at that particular moment and to ascertain what the purpose of your trip is for. Then, in a matter of mere seconds, the car selects the modes that are closest to your mood/purpose.
Now say your mood and/or purpose changes, you can hit another little steering wheel button that triggers the I-Drive system to start another poll of your feelings. Then, in another flash of time, the car re-selects the appropriate modes and you're back on your way! /sarc In all seriousness, the M3/M4 has race modes, BMW is smart enough to allow you to choose what you consider your "race mode" and allows you to save those settings to a M1 or M2 button that takes a millisecond to hit once (or a few more milliseconds to hit twice for DSC off modes). |

Aren't the modes already listed on the center console?
D=Daytime mode N=Night time mode R=Race mode Next time you're at a stop light, put it into "Race mode" and floor it when the light turns green. It will be very exciting!

If there is a race mode, can I request a stock mode too? so all my mod will go back to stock in one button. I think it would be very convenience if there is a cop or need a visit dealership for service.

I read that and for the last few hours I've had the idiotic song playing in my head. Totally ruins my wild babysitting night.

There should be a race mode and/or track mode.
They do always say that M is "barely" street legal and born on the track, so there should be an all out mode. Should be more aggressive than mdm and suspension should be stiff as iron. Make it feel as raw as possible If nothing else you can brag about it

Seems like people have been on the internet reading too many articles or watching too many videos where someone says press"this" button and you're in Race Mode... oooh aaah. Lots of those reviews I also read where they wish they could adjust xyz because xyz....steering for example too stiff or suspension too jarring but they can't adjust anything on the Race button. Such fail. BMW got it right. The only thing I don't like is the start up settings that default to the same thing everytime. |

So many people already cannot handle a F80/F82 on regular roads why go even further lol.
Do we have to pull the, "SO M4 Cars and Coffee" card again?

I think they should offer settings that are much more specific...
Limp - Limp Limp + Comfort - Comfort Comfort + Sport - Sport Sport + Sport Plus - Sport Plus Sport Plus + Race - Race Race + Race Extra - Race Extra Race Extra + Race Extra Plus - Race Extra Plus Race Extra Plus + Sport Race Extra Plus - Sport Race Extra Plus Sport Race Extra Plus + For the engine, suspension, steering, and drivetrain. Whats that... like 200,000 combinations!

Pretty good responses after the whole weekend
What I was thinking is similar to the Ferrari type of race button or switch. http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/site...?itok=mRv3JqiS Current cars do have those modes, but IMO they are still on the softer sides and not exclusive enough to the M cars. Sure some cannot even handle the current settings (look at those reviews lol), but we should be offered a hardcore and "go in rawwww" setting for those who wanted it and for those who can handle such rawness of the car. |
