I just wish the M button had two "modes". Single press, first memorized settings, long press, second set.

That would be nice

I agree - I guess we'll just have to buy an F10 (keeping the E60 of course) since it comes with 2 M buttons...

It is normal for the first to be D mode, definitely the down side of this whole thing.

It's a small price to pay to increase the performance that you get. I want to thank you again for the help that you gave me.

Actually, D1 may not be that bad. This will help with cold starts as it will shift sooner for you until operating temperature. For example, I start off in D2 on cold starts and that has helped me with my rear end clunk feeling a little until the vehicle has reached operating temperature causing smoother shifts as its not looking to shift so high in the rpm range. Then again, if you're wanting to manually shift on get go then yeah that could be a downside.

If D1 didn't try to start in 2nd gear I would agree.
