First post on this forum and looking for a bit of advice

Currently drive a 996tt but have been given a new M3 for 24 hours to try. I won't have time to try all the various settings so am looking for advice on the best settings for fast road use and any other tips that may get me to jump ship.

TIA

Smiled sweetly and asked nicely - M3 this weekend and an M6 in a couple of weeks time.



ETA Have known the Dealership for many years and have had a number of cars off them, both personal ones and ones for the company fleet.

The stealers usually have it all pre-programed so have a drive round in "normal" mode and press the M on the steering wheel when neededwink

Fast road use:

Traction control: MDM
Steering: Sport
Throttle: Middle setting (Sport, not Sport Plus)
Dampers: Medium, unless your part of the world has better roads than around here smile
