question about my BMW M6

[Tony Lam]

bought my M6 last month and just want to know if i "always" keep the ''M" button on.....is that ok?

[PANZER]

First congratulation to a nice car.

Im no expert in these cars but it should not be a problem to run in M mode all the time.
The diffrens with the M button on is that you drive with 507hp and have faster throttle response than the lower power mode with 400hp but the car will also use more fuel in M mode.

My friend who have had both an M5 and a M6 always had with it on. No worries from what I could understand...

[Erik]

I know I would

[Tony Lam]

thanks so much guys!!!!!

[Rutkowsky]

No prbs at all. Also - Fuel consumption is THE SAME in P400 and P507 mode too.....

[Tony Lam]

great.. I'll keep it on then!! thank you Rutkowsky !!

i'd think you'd have to leave it on all the time. you'd never know when to get your groove on when out on the street having to race someone. from what i know it takes a bunch of button pressing to switch modes and by then the other guy is long gone, and with 400 hp the M5 would barely make an S4 squirm. so, i'd drive with it on all the time.

[Tony Lam]

agreed!!

You only have to do that once and program the M button. Then it's just one button away. But still, why drive around with 400hp when you can have 500?
