E92 M3 Settings

[waremark]

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).

Yes!

If you live in the Yorkshire Water area, the component is probably the coolant itself...

I thought Yorkshire Water had too much of it this week!??

Missing component was apparently electric cooling fans which had been subject to a recall. Now getting the car on Friday.

No-one offering any thoughts on the settings they like??

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.

Thanks folks, that's just the sort of comments I was after. Look forward to playing.
