M Dynamic Mode MDM
Principle
M Dynamic Mode MDM makes it possible to
drive with high longitudinal and lateral accelera‐
tion but with limited driving stability.
Only in the absolute limit area does the system
intervene for stabilization by reducing the engine
power and by brake interventions on the wheels.
In this driving condition, additional steering cor‐
rections may be necessary.
General information
When M Dynamic Mode MDM is activated, the
active M xDrive program is: "4WD SPORT"
You may find it useful to briefly activate MDM
under the following special circumstances:

▷ With an increased need for dynamics or lon‐
gitudinal acceleration, for instance when driv‐
ing on a race track.
To increase driving stability, activate DSC again.
Safety information
Warning
When M Dynamic Mode is activated, stabilizing
interventions are carried out only to a reduced
extent. There may be a risk of accident or risk
of damage to property. Adjust driving style to
traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely and ac‐
tively intervene where appropriate. Do not jerk
the steering wheel in response to a warning.
