M button = Joy!

I'm not sure how many of you drive your M3s with the M button on. I recently started to drive with the M button on and wow... let me tell you... it makes such a difference. I don't think I can drive it without it now. It left a permanent grin on my face!!!

Isnt the M button just a settings shortcut?

^ Throttle map settings. You can really feel the difference. I've embossed my thumbprint on the M button from using it so much already.

doesnt it affect mpg? or does it just mess with throttle response?

Better throttle response = less fuel economy...unless you are REALLY soft on the right pedal.

Yes, and it's hard not to drive with it on all the time. Probably why I got through a tank in about five days.
