Quirks, Tips and Tricks?

What are some tips/tricks or quirks you've found with your M5 whether it be pre-facelift or LCI that you can share with everyone else? Whether it be settings, modes, quirks while driving or coding that you think could be useful to other members!!

I discovered last weekend when changing my brake pads (to the IS2000) and broke the rear pad sensor that you cannot reset the fault even after installing a new sensor while the parking brake is on. That was annoying to figure out.

I feel like Doug DeMuro is going to wade into this thread any moment.

I’ve found that putting the engine into sport plus makes it much louder. So I drive in that setting all the time now.
