Same, my biggest frustration is that when she’s in the car and I flick from Efficiency to sport+ the centre display announces it to everybody in the car! Wish I could turn that off…

You mean that until now you have been missing out on the mad thrills of spinning out of control? Your E63 has more than enough power to do it, too. All-wheel drive by itself can't handle everything you throw at it. Check out the YouTube channels dedicated entirely to videos of Ford Mustangs spinning out into side walks, etc., when leaving Cars 'n Coffee events. Enjoy!

I have Individual set up :
Traction Control Sport setting (you can't save OFF in Individual)
Sport + Suspension
Sport Transaxle
Exhaust Quiet
I'll toggle off TC if I'm messing around (it also deactivates Active Braking), and toggle suspension either Sport + or Comfort for bad roads-almost never use "Sport" for suspension-why is it there ?
I never drive the car in Comfort Transaxle, it appears to be written to the EPA cycle, not driving-softest gas pedal ever
Sport and sport plus engage throttle normally.
Sport Plus holds the gears too long for cruising, I tend to upshift on the paddle when using it.... I think Sport is the actual "normal" mode for driving, as in the one the engineers wrote for day to day.
Mandatory foible...you can't engage cruise control this way...it won't engage in any mode where traction control isn't fully on.
