Well derboy may have a point. My service adviser told me to drive the car harder to reduce oil consumption. Except in rain I now drive sport plus for throttle and suspension (sport for steering) virtually every day and I manually shift all the time.

I am only 23 and drive like the OP. Its nice to know you have all the power. 99% of the time I am in comfort mode in all settings. I might have used sports plus two times since owning the car.
Don't mind that comment. Comfort mode in any setting doesn't mean anything, it's just a preference.

I'm not quite sure what he meant anyways, I mean, the car can do 200 MPH, I'm going to bet not a single person here has done that.

Even with a 911 GT3, only about 60 percent of owners will ever take it to a track, and that's a track car.

While I could car less what someone else chooses to do, it does seem to be a waste of money to buy an M6 and never use any of its power features, might as well buy a 640i and invest the rest.

I prefer the badge. Adds a bit of douche-ness when picking out a new Supreme hoodie at the mall.

I too drive in comfort mode

I'm one of those that mainly drives in Comfort mode across all setting and occasionally bring in M1 & M2 for a bit of oomph when needed.

As for having an M6 and not using it's power - that's a bit like saying it's a waste of money to buy a Rolex Submariner and then only ever go swimming in a pool with it. And I bet there's dozen of us on here that have watches that can go down to 300+ meters yet never have done.

Everyone's different. #LiveAndLetDrive

Damn...that's why I just wear a cheap plastic Lego Star Wars wrist watch.
