M Engine Dynamic Control

With M Engine Dynamic Control you can influ-
ence how sporty the reaction of your vehicle to
accelerator pedal movements is to be. Three
programs are available to you.

"P 400" program

In the "P 400" program the engine reacts gently
to movements of the accelerator pedal. This is,
for example, ideal for city driving or driving on
snow. In the process, the fuel consumption is
minimal and the engine output is reduced.

"P 500" program

The "P 500" program provides maximum per-
formance and more spontaneous reaction of
the engine to accelerator pedal movements.

"P 500 Sport" program

In the "P 500 Sport" program the engine reacts
especially spontaneously and uncompromis-
ingly sporty with maximum performance to
accelerator pedal movements.
