Picked up my X3 M40i yesterday, that engine off a cold start just BANGS with the morning coffee.

Anyway, what have people amended or set up can i ask?

Also, how do you run Sport mode for example, is it sport entirely or do you change engine/transmission/steering from other modes?

Appreciate some thoughts or amends to utilise.

On my X3M you can change the dampers/traction control/steering/gearbox/throttle/AWD all independently of each other each function having 3 different settings in any combination (2 on the AWD), I think on the M lite cars it's a bit more restrictive, in that you can change the overall modes comfort/sport/sport+ but not delve into individual settings for each function. (I could be wrong though)

Sport individual solves that problem.
You can set up engine, transmission, damping, and steering to whatever you like and then save that in the Sport Individual setting.

I have played with mine and changed it as I want.
