LOL Sharky, check your rep btw

BTW yea i hate how technologically advanced these damm cars are getting, in a sports car i prefer it to be mechanical, do it yourself get in and go! BTW M6 seems pretty quick, 0-60 in 4.1 and 0-100 in 8.9, although 1/4 mile at 12.4 isnt too impressive but does trap at 121 mph despite its 3900 lbs and low torque!

Yeah only in a straight line and not even from 0 to 60 mph. That is one fat ugly and heavy car, you can keep it.

There is- its called the power button.

They just played to the cameras for comical effect. If you want to do a LC it takes 5 seconds at most, if you know what your doing. If not RTFM and then it will take 5 seconds.

all the best

You can program the "M" button on the steering wheel so that all it takes is one push for the 500 Sport settings along with Traction control off to be available anytime you need it.

I'm sure BMW is competing with the same tippy customer base.
