M Drive

M Drive - your preferred driving program at the touch of a button. With M Drive, all control systems and vehicle response modes can be combined freely using iDrive, and immediately activated using the M Drive button on the steering wheel.

M Drive transforms a comfortable touring car into a high-performance racing machine with the press of a button. It immediately activates your pre-determined preferences: DSC can be put into M Dynamic mode, the Head-Up Display can be changed to show M-specific information, the active seats can move from "Comfort" to "Sport" position, and in the BMW M5 Sedan, M5 Touring, BMW M6 Coupé and M6 Convertible, M Drive can change the settings of electronic engine management to P500 Sport and put SMG Drivelogic into sports mode.
Using iDrive, you configure your personal preferences for the vehicle's control systems and response modes, and once defined, a single press of the M Drive button is all that's needed to activate them all.
M Drive can control: The Digital Motor Electronics (DME): three different programmes for engine output and responsiveness. SMG Drivelogic: six different manual gearshift programmes (Sequential mode) or five automatic gearshift modes (Drive mode) (specially for the BMW M5 Sedan, M5 Touring, BMW M6 Coupé and M6 Convertible).
