Today I had some tires put on my car and when I was pulling out of the shop on to the main road I put the car in sport mode or "DS" and the car took off just like I expected, but the problem is instead of "DS" the car said "M3" in the gear display. What is that about?

You hit the manual gear mode. In DS you can manually shift up and down.

Try it..its fun. While in DS press the lever up or down :)

Oh, so the "M3" was like "manual 3rd"? I just thought my car was special. Thanks Busta

Ya you must have pushed up or pulled the lever down accidently after putting it over to DS (left)

:D

When I take anyone in my car for a spin I show them the M3, M5 and M6 display - they then ask what on earth that is about and I say they are special gear modes to race an M3, M5 and M6 :P :D

And with the power my baby has - I think they believe me most of the time :lol:

Some people obviously dont read the manual :thumbsdown:

Ahahaha...Racing an M3 on 3rd gear, that's pretty reasonable, but racing a M5 and M6 on 5th and 6th gear?? lol. Maybe if you're already in a 200mph+ range. That's a good one though. I said that to my girlfriend once, but not chance of fooling her.

Try this...I was on the highway and I left it in DS mode. I then floored my accelerator and then the DS changed to M3.
