The MDrive

The MDrive menu known from the M5/M6 is also available in the M3 if equipped with the navigation system.

Starting from the iDrive main menu, the MDrive menu can be called up by pressing on the iDrive controller and selecting M settings.

The overall setting is called up/activated by pressing on the M button on the steering wheel. Pressing the M button again or restarting the vehicle deactivates the settings. The settings can, of course, be retrieved again using the M button.

The following is a list of menu items with selection options that are currently available in the MDrive menu:

• M Engine Dynamics Control (Power)
  • "Unchanged"
  • "Normal"
  • "Sport"
  • "Sport Plus"
• DSC
  • "Unchanged"
  • "OFF"
  • "ON"
  • "M Dynamic mode"
• Servotronic
  • "Normal"
  • "Sport"
• EDC-K (only if fitted)
  • "Unchanged"
  • "Comfort"
  • "Normal"
  • "Sport"

By selecting "Unchanged", when the M button is pressed (i.e. the settings in the MDrive menu are called up), the current settings of this system are retained.

Example:

The driver has deactivated the Dynamic Stability Control function using the DSC button.

• MDrive setting: M Engine dynamics control "Sport Plus"; DSC "Unchanged"; Servotronic "Sport".

The driver presses the M button on the steering wheel to call up the M settings.

• Only the "Sport Plus" and Servotronic "Sport" settings for M engine dynamics control are activated. DSC remains deactivated.
