i'm still voting for one setting - the good one. that is the real M car
- proper steering feel
- proper brake feel
- proper suspension feel
If its too much - buy a softer car - M performance - if even that is too much - go for M sport m-package - if that is too stiff-
buy x line or regular model. BMW certainly has choices in model line up. No reason to make M5 feel as soft as the regular 530e.

There are plenty of people who like the idea of driving an m5 or whatever, but don't necessarily want a real sports sedan in practice. They enjoy the legacy and image associated with the M products but aren't willing to accept much, if any compromise in comfort.
Unfortunately, when good product lines gain attention, it attracts the masses. When the masses take notice, the product becomes diluted in an effort to please everyone.
At least the technology exists, that allows one to adjust the car to his/her preferences. It just requires a little upfront time pushing buttons and switches.
