Votre pays est très beau, et je suis jaloux!
Mine should be here in another week or two, but I don't have any breathtaking views like that to enjoy...

I'm an IT guy by trade and tech nerd by choice. I like HPDEs, parts of US Hwy 129, NC 28, and the Cherohala Skyway. I'm also a fan of aural pleasure. |

A bit off topic - I cannot assign Sport Displays to a memory button in my LCI. When I try, it says "Unable to Save". It worked in my 2016 M235i - seems this must be a 2018 LCI "feature". I can store other functions, but no Sport Displays. Any other LCIers able to get this to work? |

Woke up this morning, read this incredible post, turned to my wife and said, "I would leave you for her". To which my wife replied "you could not keep up with her"
Best post ever on this forum. Thank you Corinne!

That was the trick - assign when you've selected - but not executed - the command you want to save. Thanks!

Oh really ? I'd understood, from reading the knowledgeable posts of M2 owners that the loudest noise was obtained in traction mode. I'm not going to trust by skills in Sports+ but will drive in Sport. So the noise will be louder in Sport then ?
I never tilt the base of seats because it results in backache ! Don't need the locked steering wheel to help me get out I'm old, but not THAT old and can still get out of an Elise with the roof on without trouble ! Thanks for the other tips though ! I'm part of the "When all else fails, read the instructions" school so your comments are very useful !

Would you believe that all photos were taken on a Samsung Note 2 ? Yes this area is paradise... during all 4 seasons.

Ha ha ha ! I had a good laugh over that, despite it being a monday morning ! I'm sure you'd qualify if you can climb between 2,000 and 10,000 vertical metres in a week

Corinne, thanks for sharing your delivery experience and the many locale pictures. It is wonderfully written with cute humor and beautiful pictures that are a feast to my eyes and mind. I really enjoyed reading it and chuckled through out, especially the part about the Lotus Elise being a "big expensive car."
Congratulation! I look forward to my own M2 delivery in about a month. |

If keeping all safety nannies active matters for you (assisting you to keep the 370hp [± 385hp in reality] under control) and you want fancy sounds and better throttle response, then SPORT mode is definitely the way to go for your M2; it offers the best compromise (safety + music):
What about fuel consumption COMFORT mode versus SPORT mode: will remain virtually the same (minor difference), but as those overrun sounds will be music to your ears, you may adapt your driving style in a more 'fuel consumption driving' fashion. When firing up the engine: deactivate the Auto Start/Stop function (button above the START/STOP button; amber light = inactive), push the SPORT mode button, activate High Beam Assist (lower button on the blinkers stalk; but won't do anything if the headlights ain't automatically activated), if need be, also activate the rain sensor and seat heating (steering wheel heating: won't work with the M Performance steering wheel as it's not heat-wired). The "Lane Depature Warning" + "Collision Warning" buttons near your left knee: green lights on = active. Car memory: once you made a choice, it will stay that way next time you start the engine.

And don't forget that you got yourself a tailor-made storage tray for 3 × 33cl cans in your car.
No jangling and more stable through the twisties than you might think.
