On a trip on Sunday I twice wanted to quickly overtake traffic travelling at about 50mph, so I pressed the M button and floored the accelerator - and nothing happened. M-mode engaged OK (at least the HUD was in M-Mode) but the effect of flooring it was nothing, nada. No downshift, no extra acceleration.
I rescued the situation by changing gear manually, but was surprised at the lack of (automated) response. Am I doing something wrong?

So in this instance, you would have to manually downshift to get to the gear you wanted... or set your M settings to Automatic gearbox..
At least that is my interpretation on what is happening!... The power and M settings are there, you just have to manually downshift!

M mode is manual (SMG) shift (at least that is what i have it set to)..when in D mode and then pressing the M button, the gearbox stays in the same gear as you were in in D mode, but implements the extra power and the settings that you have pre-selected in the menu...
