Simple, go into the iDrive menu you want to program, press and hold down the shortcut button to program. It should beep to indicate successful. Sometimes you have to be on the screen you want, other times to be on the parent screen with the function you want highlighted such as the HP/torque screen.
A nice shortcut for changing M1 or M2. Instead of navigating iDrive, simply use the console buttons to change individual settings including shift speed, MDM, etc. Then press and hold an M button to program. It will beep to confirm. Note if programming MDM, or DSC off, it will require a 2nd press of M1 or M2 to activate (not during programming...).
I normally program M1 to be sport settings (on road fun) and M2 for MDM or DSC off (track fun). But often play with different settings to try them out. As noted in my autocross thread, MDM and sport+ throttle gives plenty of tail out action.
PS: I've got my econ gauge changed to show the M mode settings. Handy for confirming what they are set to.
