New Owner Questions

cb804 · 08-10-2019, 11:14 PM

New 2020 M2C was delivered yesterday. I've searched everywhere but I can't seem to find out how to display the steering mode (comfort, sport, sport plus) and DCT transmission mode on the car. I remembered when I test drove a car that the steering mode was on display below the tach but I can't find anywhere how to display it.

Here's a shot just before it left the dealer in North Carolina.

Thanks

What sucks is that it replaces the MPG gauge which is so old school BMW.

To each their own. I've never found myself caring about my live MPG in an M.

Agree the gauge is of little use... it just reminds me of running around as a kid in my Aunt's E30 M3 when that gauge was mechanical. A bit of BMW nostalgia I guess.

I removed the steering/throttle modes because you can tell what mode you're in based on feel/sound. DSC off and MDM are on a different part of the screen, fortunately. I like the fuel gauge and I think it's useful just to know how much I'm pouring into the engine at any given time & it's relationship with gearing/rpm/incline/etc.
