My M1 & M2 configurations and thoughts
After just over a month of constant playing, here’s how mine are currently configured along with the reason/purpose:
M1 = When stuck in a precession of traffic, Motorway driving or just wanting a relaxing commute: Engine: Efficient Suspension/Chassis: Comfort Steering: Comfort Transmission: D1 DSC: On HUD: Standard A bit of a waste of M1 I know however I’ve become tired of having to hit the Steering and Suspension buttons x2 each (to get from default Sport back to Comfort) in addition to de-activating the Start-Stop (i.e. 5 unnecessary button presses), every time I start the car for my daily commute. I think the start-up default should be everything in Efficient/Comfort, freeing M1 to be whatever intermediate combination each person prefers. M2 = B road blasting: Engine: Sport+ Suspension/Chassis: Comfort* Steering: Sport+* Transmission: D3 (since it swaps to S3 at the first pull of a paddle anyway) DSC: On (I currently prefer to manually switch to MDM/Full Off as and when I want them) HUD: M Mode * I find the combination of having both the Suspension and Steering in Sport+ can make the car feel a little bit twitchy at times over some of my local bumpy/broken B roads. Cheers, Joe

M1: Sport / Sport / Sport
M2: Efficient / Comfort / Comfort I won't be using Sport+ as it is completely unnecessary except for the track. I press the M2 button for my morning commute because I am half asleep and the M1 button for my afternoon commute when I want to have a bit more fun and my senses are there. DSG always on either way. By the way, you can code the change for the Start/Stop to be off by default or on by default so that you don't have to change it manually.

M1 - Sport + steering/ Sport + engine/ Sport suspension / S3 DCT / normal HUD view/ DSC on This is my default daily setting. I want the car to feel sporty and aggressive every time I drive it. Frost thing I do when I get in is push the M1 button.
M2- Sport + steering/ Sport + engine/ Sport + suspension / S3 DCT / M view HUD / MDM

Edit/Update:
For B road blasting I've found that ... Suspension/Chassis: Comfort Steering: Sport+ is actually a better combination than: Suspension/Chassis: Sport Steering: Sport The car feels much more planted/under control and less twitchy.
