Okay, the M5 is setup the same way as the M6. I love Top Gear, don't get me wrong, but really, all you have to do is hit the POWER button by the gearshift console and you have 500HP.
Now, you can program the "M"-mode button any way you like.
I mean, it is if these guys never used a computer (Windows or Mac)? I mean we all have our preferences for our cellphones, computer, etc.
I rather have control the car's computer function rather than take it to the dealership for them to turn on my DRLs or whether car will lock the doors after 13mph, etc.
If they can't figure out computers, then it is time for them to warp back into the past and use their fingers & toes instead of a calculator to count numbers.
