M Mode "ROAD" "SPORT"

What M mode do you all prefer “ROAD” or “SPORT”?

I have an LCI and I don’t know what I did when I was setting it up but I am unable to change my m mode to ROAD. It defaults to SPORT. I try to switch it by pressing on the m mode button by the gear shifter and it automatically moves to SPORT.

Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated.

Did you code something? I didn't think there was a way to default to sport. Do you have driver assistance stuff? If you activate any of that it should change to road.

I drive in road until the car is warmed up then do sport because I want the HUD tach and left side g-meter.

Aren’t there a bunch of options you can select in some menu to always be on or off? I can’t recall where that is located, though, in the idrive.

I did code a few things in bimmercode but I don’t recall changing the m mode settings. My driver assistance are all on. It’s weird!

So I found out what the problem was. When I was coding I changed the head unit to M Performance 200mph. Apparently that forces your M mode to default to SPORT. Thank goodness for backups.

Good to know you can change the default. Many people here say the drive only in sport plus, so this coding would make life simpler for them.
