Too many steps..
When driving the car in regular drive mode, it takes way too many steps in order to go to max power.
You have to kick the transmission into sport, press the m drive button, and downshift..
I've only had the truck fr a few weeks so maybe I'm just complicating my life lol
Anyone know of a quicker way?

Lmao seriously I can't believe how fast this car burns through gas. My B7 didn't have different transmission settings, just one.. Go fast.. And i was getting 300-400 miles per tank. With the x5m I can get close to 300 if I dont get on the throttle at all... Terrible

Never heard anyone mention this, but I agree.
Many times I am in the wrong setting for what I want to do on the road.
There should an M-Sport Button.
