On this subject..... Question for you all..... as we pick up our new Base C7 Thursday. And, YES I have read the owners manual.... twice.
Am I correct in thinking that if you do NOT link the driving mode choice to other perimeters, you can selectively choose between:
Driving mode
Display setting look
Exhaust setting
I'm hoping to be able to choose these independent of each other. Example would be: Driving mode = touring; Display = track, and Exhaust = Sport
Or any other combination of the three. Correct???
Hope I understood what I read in the manual correctly.
Thanks,

Thank you !!! I appreciate the response. YES, I was aware of the Mag ride control being tied to the driving mode setting. It was the other stuff that I was hoping to choose to switch up.

Funny enough, I have a M7, and for highway driving, I'm starting to just put 'r into ECO mode instead of Tour. For us stick drivers, this is the only way to get into V4 mode.
It started out as a novelty for me, as for the first 60 days, I'm not sure I took my car out of Sport mode. But then, I realized, I'm in traffic, I'm commuting, I'm begging the wife to give me a list of groceries so I can drive the damn thing.
I'm wondering if, for the M7, I'll ever use Tour again. Now it's always ECO or Sport. I like saving gas for my regular terrorist activities in Sport mode.

I pretty much never come out of Tour. Exhaust toggles between Track and Stealth, depending directly on whether I'm in my neighborhood and / or Wifey is in the car (she's not a fan of loud rumble-y exhausts).

Tour is what I use the most. When I want the exhaust loud I'll go to Sport or Track. For rainy or very cold days I go to Weather.
On my Z06 there is a definite difference in the ride between Tour and Sport. No where close to going from luxury car smooth to stiffly sprung truck rough but a definite difference.

Sigh. So I changed it back. (mumble)
