E92 M3 Settings
Discussion
My car (DCT Coupe) is sitting at the dealer waiting for 'a missing cooling component' before they can deliver it. Meanwhile, I wonder what advice E92 owners have about choice of steering, suspension, throttle, traction control and shortcut button settings (I don't think anyone can advise on gearbox settings yet).
Congrats on a great car! Re settings, boring I know, but I genuinely found simply pressing the M button gave the perfect on road set up. Delving into the cars clever systems reveals all sorts of set up permutations but I reckon these are very much a matter of personal taste depending on how you're going to use the car on any given day - do you want the car 'loose' for a bit of fun, more secure for a very fast cross country blat in the wet or slightly more relaxed for 100s of motorway miles. A lot of the fun will be finding out what suits you but as I say 95% of the time mine got left in standard 'M' setting which allows you just enough movement to make you feel like a driving God without having to be 'at the top of your game' all the time while remaining reasonably comfortable - and safe - for public road driving. Enjoy!

I picked up my new E92 3 weeks ago with the new 7speed dct gearbox... am v impressed after coming from a challenge stradale. Extremely smooth and quick, almost too smooth in fact, so I tend to put the change speed to the second to quickest setting on the M button (which is on all the time!)along with the hardest suspension set up, sport throttle map on and traction control off... I have found the quickest change speed to be a little harsh most of the time.
