Go into the settings on the iDrive and you can define what the M button does. It basically is a quick switch button to a set of defined options that you define in the menu. They include MDM (less intrusive traction control) and more power from the engine.

I appreciate your feedback but I know how to switch it. I just want to know more about what the different settings actually do.

Also the M button is best used every time to start the beast. Non M mode really is for your wife when she is driving.
