M1 or M2 settings

Hi Fam, Is there a way to save M1 or M2 settings for startup, instead of selecting every time ?

Thx

I think you can make some of the stuff fixed with coding.

I have not heard such a coding or process to keep it saved...we still (or I do) have to push it twice. (based on my setup)

I don't think you can save the full settings, but I think you can at least set it to start in Sport mode for instance if you want.

I do occasionally like the double press to get the extra growl on start up.

Sorry - never heard of this. Pressing start twice puts this in sport mode? Just m8 or m850 also. Love the growl of course

If you press either the M1 or M2 button twice before starting the car it will start the car with those settings.

Why would you need to press m1/m2 twice instead of once? You only need to press twice if in your m settings dsc is off

That is how I have it now, have it startup in sport mode for engine. Which I could start in my full M2 mode

This is when the car is off. I'd go test it to make sure I can't do it with 1 click, but its below freezing here so I'm not too motivated to put more clothes on to go out to my garage for a test.
