i'm scheduled for an M2C drive on the M-Town visit to the DC area in a couple of weeks. thanks for the info on the shift settings...will definitely check it out. i really want to consider an M2 for my next car...but not sure how realistic an M car is for me as a daily driver.

the only M car i've ever driven is a friend's F80 M3; it was an absolute beast, but i dont think i could live with the track-focused set-up on a daily basis. my friend daily drove it for about 10 months and sold it -- it was his dream car but finally had to admit that spending 3 hours per day commuting around DC was just not a pleasant experience.
