I prefer to find my car the way I left it. I'd be pretty annoyed if all my seat & mirror adjustments reverted back to default every time I shut the car off, same goes for driving mode & other settings.

Didn't mean to sound like I was dissing anybody. 
The real winners here will be my neighbors, as the car will always start on the quietest exhaust setting (such as it is).
This all depends on me getting my hands on one of these machines someday soon.

I have been thinking about my neighbors also as my brother just visited with his new ZO6 and I think everyone on my street was glad to see him go.

While this is one extra step, I console myself by remembering that I don't have to mess with the E-brake, so that is one less step and thus I brake [pun intended] even.
For those who find this extremely bothersome, I suspect that one or more tuners will find a way to retain the preferred driving mode as part of the tune.

Yep....for me none of this is a big deal. In the morning, I start the car and let it warm up anyway so it really only takes me two .3 second clicks to get the car into S+ if needed. Also, start/stop is right there as well. I can go click click press and go from eco / comfort to a more aggressive non-eco S+ mode in less than one second. Its really that easy. One click up puts you in individual mode and if that's aggressive, well, you just saved yourself even more time.
I know its a matter of preference so because I'm not rich, I like the eco mode on and start in comfort default for the best efficiencies. When I'm ready to play, then I go click click press and I'm on my way I go. In fact, I had the best of both worlds today. Was driving in comfort / eco setting on when a Camaro pulled up next to me with his modded exhaust growling. He was toeing the line so I quickly went into S+ mode at the light and needless to say it didn't take long before he learned that I bought my car at Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach.
That reminds me, I need to replace that dealer frame on the back with a CF frame.

I wish cars here were 88k for c63, I would be much happier lol.. a well spec one is like 110 here easy
man thats quite annoying about the eco button, i can understand about the pre selector going back to comfort but i wish that eco was always off.
BMW has benz beat in this aspect, it stays off and I believe it stays in whatever mode you left the car last

On the other hand, the start/stop function on the M is quite rough. On the C63, I barely notice it and it operates very smoothly.

This is probably also a safety feature. Say you left the car in Race mode where the ESP is in Sport then your wife goes to drive the car next and isn't used to Sport ESP. Might have an accident.
It's no big deal really and I think this is better that it goes back to Comfort personally.

Another benefit of the car returning to C (Comfort): It is much better to warm the motor and vital fluids (oil, etc.) up in C. This is my opinion only. In C, I'm able to keep the revs down much easier while I'm waiting for oil to reach all the critical components on a cold start.

To be honest I don't understand why so many of you US members have problems with auto start stop. The engine starts quickly so no problems there. It starts again if temp is too hot to run AC, etc. It's pretty cool when your sat at lights and you get to hear it purr into life, making the guy who wants to cut you up in the other lane realise the error of his ways
What is it that you have against it? In comfort mode your unlikely to be driving hard and fast. Other modes you are and it's not used.
