Just got call from dealership - my ordered car just came in

Remember you've also got the M button to play with which frees up an additional 100 horsepower. Do you have to wait until break-in is finished to use it?

Congrats man, that car is sick. And the red interior look sweet.

I didn't read the manual. Was I suppose to wait in the break-in to use the M button? Oops.

I don't. I'm not exactly gaga-eyed over it. It's a very sweet car, but it's still a car.

Look at the steering wheel picture and on the right spoke, you'll see a button that said "M" on it. It releases the full 500-HP as opposed to the default setting of 400-HP. Stupid feature, but some idiot at BMW thought that it was cool, I suppose. Something to justify the "M" emblem.

The "button" seems like a stupid gimmick to me. In the AMG's or the Porsche Turbo cars you just mash the right foot and go.

Don't get me wrong...I like the M car alot overall...wish I could get one...just think this button is sort of well...stupid.

reminds me of the 90's ZR1, key had two ignition positions. the one cut half the injectors and the other one gave you full power at the price of a huge yellow full power light lol

Well actually if I'm not mistaken it actually had a "valet switch" that could be locked that detuned/limited the car to 250 hp so you could limit the hp for a valet parking your car or anyone else you left it with so they couldn't take it out and dog it or wreck it. To me that's not really a bad idea but just a button that anyone can push ? Come on...I just don't get that at all.

Don't get me wrong...the M6 is a much nicer car but I think the button is a useless gimmick that's all.

I don't really get the power setting swithches on the GSXR's either and now I hear the 09 R1 will have one...*rolling eyes*.
