Fair points. I hope government taxes will still allow widespread petrol powered cars in 20 years time!
Yeah, I think that is the big worry. I think the percentage of older cars will mean it is no longer and issue emissions wise, as you say though tax might be, oh and the price of fuelling them.
Oh, and of course whether people will smile and wave as you drive passed or throw things at you and call you names.

I rev'd mine out today (collected Dec 2020 so reluctant to do so in the wet or cold) and it is remarkably sprightly!

You need to be testing out that MDM setting now as well TX.

I've hear that you can lean on the MDM quite a bit if you say, find yourself accidentally accelerating too hard out of junction in the countryside. Witchcraft apparently.
This is my default mode but I access it through the traction button (short press) as it keeps the more progressive throttle map but gives me all the noise. I am sure this can be programmed on a M2C and/or accessed via one of the mode buttons (or perhaps the M2C still has the traction button?).ben5575 said:
Yes you can assign MDM to an M button.
There’s no exhaust control in the M2C, but as you say, MDM unlocks it fully (more than just switching the engine mode up)
I don't have a M button I only have a OG M2 There’s no exhaust control in the M2C, but as you say, MDM unlocks it fully (more than just switching the engine mode up)
What I am trying to say is that a soft throttle works really well with MDM and that conveniently, my traction button invokes MDM with the soft throttle map and full noise, so in effect I have a M button which is not configurable but happens to give me my default set up.

I’ve never tried mine with mdm - don’t quite understand what it does.
It turns traction control off and relaxes stability control up to a (modest) point, beyond which it reinstates traction control and stability control.In other words you can do silly little slides and still have a safety net. If you stay beyond the (modest) yaw limits of MDM you're basically driving without support.

That said, perhaps now is not the time, with slightly damp roads and super sports that are getting a little low, to find out....
It relaxes the TC and allows more slip angle before reigning you in. It doesn't suddenly just STOP you from sliding like a traditional TC that design to prevent an accident. It just seems to very progressively control the amount it'll let you slide. It essentially lets you play at being Chris Harris but without the skill. Which is a problem in itself as it could lead to false sense of security. That said, perhaps now is not the time, with slightly damp roads and super sports that are getting a little low, to find out....
I don't tend to use it when driving as I'm not one for sliding around on public roads, but it is fun for the odd cheeky Magnum PI moment.
Worn tyres and damp roads seem like the perfect combination to try it out at slow speed

. I assume on the comp it doesn’t make any difference to the engine or exhaust?
Quite ashamed that having had the car for 15 months I haven’t tried or even read up on it.
In my defence, I didn’t expect to have it longer than 6 months.
Might have a little go to tomorrow during a necessary journey....

Switching up the engine to sport plus adds pops & bangs. MDM 'unlocks' the full exhaust. You have to press the t/c button twice to activate it, just to be sure. 'MDM' lights up on the left on the rev counter.
Have fun buying that milk...
Are you sure?Have fun buying that milk...
Ive had my M2C for over 2 years, I get a louder exhaust with pops and bangs from pressing "sport plus" but nothing more in MDM besides lairy stability control.

I thought the same. Exhaust seems control by throttle map. Which for sport plus is ridiculous anyway. Seems to get toned down with DSC off though.

The engine sport plus does control the exhaust loudness as well as the mapping/throttle/overrun etc. It just doesn't open the exhaust all the way (although you now have me doubting myself!).

ah, that'll be it. M2 + M2 comp quite different. youtube on it (just on the M2 LCI not M2C): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzKVFi0QvSc

no I get that.The guy in that video now has a M2C (I think his excellent miltek review was linked on a previous page). I'm sure he said the same about the M2C in one of his videos, I just couldn't be bothered to scroll through all of them to find it when the above one was to hand.
I tend to listen to exhaust clips late at night after a bottle of red (that's normal right
), so I could well be mistaken.Gassing Station | M Power | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
