A few follow-up comments and questions . . . The M2C is a really fun car that has already succeed in satisfying the ‘hooligan’ in me. The ass-end ALWAYS wants to play. In addition to whatever else is done at ‘break-in’ service, I am pretty sure it will require a new set of tires as well. . . and probably a switch from PS to PS4S. Speaking of ‘break-in period,’ I have no idea how anyone possibly drives an M2C 1,200 miles while keeping it under 5,500 RPMs? I sure as hell have not had ANY success. Before I get my hand slapped by the ‘break-in period’ police, I am a big boy and make my own shift point decisions. . . let us just cordially leave it at that. I have not fully evaluated all the performance options. Kind of randomly set M1 and M2 buttons at: M1: DSC, SPORT, SPORT, SPORT M2: DSC, SPORT+, SPORT+ and SPORT+ M1 always comes on in DCT automatic mode. With a flip of the shifter I am back at home with DCT manual mode. In contrast, M2 always comes on in DCT manual mode. I do not know how to purposefully control DCT modes (automatic vs manual) corresponding to the M1 or M2 buttons? Finally, is there a way to show oil and coolant temperatures on the computer screen, or somewhere easily visible to me? Despite my ambivalence regarding break-in period RPMs, I ALWYS make sure my vehicle fluids are warmed up before winding the piss out of it. I have not figured out how to display the oil and coolant temperatures? I also do not know what temperatures correspond to ‘adequately warmed up’ with the M2C? Could someone give a brother a little help with questions posed? Gracias! ///AVM |

That stated, I did read the manual and could not find how to display oil and coolant temperatures on the computer screen. You answered the coolant temperature question, and I am under the impression the oil temperature reading is limited to the instrument cluster. . . and does not offer an actual temperature. Cool, and thank you for helping me put that particular topic to rest. Even after going back into the owners manual, I am still unclear how to control DCT manual vs automatic mode with the M1 and M2 buttons? It is most likely the settings I chose within each mode, e.g., all SPORT with M1 and all SPORT+ with M2??? Need a little member expertise on this one, please. ///AVM |

You can set the M1 and M2 to manual (S mode) in iDrive. You do not need to use the default settings. You can set the buttons to be anything you want. Temp: Hit the BC button on the left stalk once and you'll get to temp display on the dash in front of you. I leave it at that always so I can know when to hit the M2 button. Yeah, I dont know how people commute in this car. It really comes alive post-5k rpm |

You nailed it brother . . . I did not realize "S" was for DCT manual mode . . . Scout, it IS in the manual and I feel shamed. . . you have every right to tag me with the So, yes, I was in D2 with M1 and S2 with M2. . . another problem solved. Thank you gentlemen. ///AVM |

Something else to note, you can customize what shows up when you hit the BC button, via the iDrive. There's a bunch of fuel economy crap I took out of there in order to give me fewer clicks when cycling between oil temp and the digital speedo, which are the only two displays i habitually use.

It only took me 30 minutes of scrolling through the computer screen options, but I found what you were talking about and got rid of all the 'fuel economy crap' you referenced. Thank you ///AVM |

What can be said that has not already been said about the M2C?
Well, I am oddly smitten with the Competition side mirrors. They are cool as hell. I guess I am a cheap date? ///AVM |

That might come in handy, if you ever have to jump bail, run to another country, without extradition and then gets a car that has the gas filler, on the other side. Might save you a bunch of confusion. Hypothetical speaking, of course |

That is actually a pretty standard feature on all cars. Speaking of fuel, one thing I can already tell you is going to be a huge pain in my ass is the fact that the M2C consumes the petrol at an unparalleled rate. Yes, I admittedly hang out at redline but, man, this baby drinks! ///AVM |

Yea, I could imagine at high RPMs, it must guzzle gas. I mean, it has two high-pressure fuel pumps, so I'm sure that was the intention but being that the gas tank was recycled from the standard F22, they didn't properly cater to the overall supply. |
