None of the engineering geniuses at BMW though of the most obvious user scenario possible. It really sucks. The sports gauge should 100% be mapped to the M Mode buttons.

Even crazier is that when you engage cruise control in sport mode it reverts back to normal screen. HUD too. No words.

There’s no such thing as Comfort mode in an M2. I’m not sure what you’re saying, but the answer to the question that was asked is “no, there is no way to configure startup settings or display in an M car”. |

The screen shot is from the bimmer code app. You can select the start up drive mode or have the drive mode be retentive. (Again this is not the iDrive screen) The wording they’ve used in the app isn’t always precise. And there are often extra features and options that the car simply doesn’t have. Regardless, it’s a proven product. |

Wow.
Car starts in its base setting. If I wanted it to it could start in M1 or m2. Additionally if I shut the car off in m1 or 2 it could be started back up and retain that drive mode. Not sure what your problem is, I was simply providing input to the OP. |

It's too bad the display can't be set to a profile or to an M button. That's how it works in the RS3. My wife and I have two different default displays that are linked to the profiles, and a display can be assigned to the RS button as well.

You say “if I wanted to I could”. That is not true. You could not, because it is not possible. You are conjecturing something that isn’t possible with an “if”, debating someone who knows it to be untrue. I am not sure why you are you doing that or what your problem is, but I thought better not to ask that question. Hope whatever it is improves for you, though. |

Made the code change with the Bimmercode app and took the M2 for a drive and saw no change. I definitely made an assumption without first verifying it. I apologize for the excitement. |

What a roller coaster this thread read was. Briefly had me hoping for M Sport Mode display retention, then switched to settling for M1 retention startup, left me sad at the end. 10/10 would read again.
It really does blow my mind the engineers didn't think of this. Maybe the test drivers didn't seem to play around with the settings enough, or continuously use the same car for days, to warrant the omission?

I bet it is regulation related. Either emission/fuel economy or safety.
Probably doesn't take too many people sueing because the car started without traction control to ruin it for everyone. |

Besides not being able to default sports mode, I'm also confused by the sport mode itself. It changes the gauge and HUD , but it keeps the driving setting to comfort for all setting.
Of course m1 and m2 follow what I set them to, but it was odd that "sport mode" doesn't actually affect the driving dynamic. |
