X6M MDM Mode setup
I was setting up my M mode button located on the steering wheel, but still don't understand what MDM mode does?
I know EDC is for the suspension (softer or stiffer) and DSC for the traction control activation or deactivation, but MDM ? thanks in advance ! Bernie |

MDM - i believe is M dynamic mode
It is the mode that is kind of between DSC on and DSC off In this mode car is allowed for some slip, some spin, some slide, but just enough so you won't get yourself into trouble I also think tranny behaves a bit more responsive in this mode Quote:

Last night, I set up my M mode button like this: Power option set to "Sport", EDC off (softer ride, and if I need it, I will activate it manualy) MDM OFF , that leaves me only with the power-sport option that means (pasted from owners manual) " The sport program permits the engine and M Sport Automatic transmission to respond more spontaneously to accelerator pedal movements. The acoustics of the BMW X6M become more sporty (what It does is that opens both inner exhaust pipes from iddle, usually those pipes are closed until you reach higher RPM's, so using this mode gives you a great real agressive V8 sound in slow driving) and "POWER" is displayed in the instrument panel. Thanks ! |

You also need to be in the MDM mode to be able to use the launch control. That is why I have it programmed for MDM to come on with the M button. That way, if you want to use the launch control in a hurry, you can push the button, press the brake,then gas, and you will now be in launch control mode!

To activate Launch Control,
the driver stops the vehicle, moves the gear selector into the M/S position and activates the Sports Power mode, as well as the M Dynamic mode, or respectively, the DSC-Off mode. Then, with the transmission in stage M1, the driver presses down the brake pedal and moves the accelerator to at least 60% throttle, setting Launch Control to standby. Standby status is confirmed by “starter’s flag” symbol in the instrument cluster. As soon as the driver releases the brake pedal, the vehicle will accelerate with full power in “genuine racing style.” In the process, the M Sports Automatic transmission automatically upshifts at the ideal points, with the fastest possible shifts and optimum wheelspin control. The driver may terminate the Launch Control process at any time by reducing the throttle position. |

super random but i was trying to figure out what MDM mode did too since i just grabbed an e70 x5m 2 weeks ago, and noticed you're from/in costa rica. My mom's costa rican. MDM is definitely different in the e70 x5m than it is the e92 m3 . the e92 m3 especially when supercharged mdm really intervenes , not much different than traction on. But the x5m maybe because its in conjunction with xdrive , its a lot sportier, and not far from traction off. |
