what are your driving mode settings?

What driving mode and settings is everyone using on their 1LE?

I daily drive the car and have been using the below and love it.

Mode:Sport
Steering: Sport
Suspension: Track
Exhaust: Track

Loud, tight but not too tight steering, and hits the corners like its on rails. I never use touring to be honest and would keep it in track all the time if it werent for the track throttle and overly stiff steering wheel. I find this to be a good balance.

You daily drive in track suspension?! To each their own, but I really enjoy the broad capabilities of this car. I daily in Tour with track exhaust, but put it in stealth mode when pulling in the garage to avoid loud startups in the mornings.

I actually run Tour steering at all times. It lightens the steering effort and is a huge help when running auto crosses or taking tight corners on track.

I drive in sport mode most of the time with the exhaust in track mode.

I have been thinking about switching the steering to tour.

I just run it in Sport mode on the street. I was using Tour a lot at first but like the feel in Sport more.

Track in track mode, PTM Sport 1 so far while learning the car a bit.

I also haven't been driving the car much lately. 4k in about 1.5 months.. but it's been sitting for 3 weeks now. Need to change the pads and have been lazy.

Mode: I normally use Sport mode
Steering: Tour
Suspension: automatic (same as mode)
Exhaust: automatic (same as mode)

I prefer the steering to be set to tour because sport and especially track modes feel way too heavy and dont offer any additional steering feedback.

I am ashamed to admit that so far I only used the "Mode" lever and usually put it either in "Sport" or in "Tour"
How do I access the "Advanced" Menu to be able to add granularity and also change settings specifically for:
Steering,
Suspension and
Exhaust?

1LE - Everything in Sport except exhaust is always in track

2SS - wife's car, but pretty sure she has it in Sport all the time

Vehicle setting in the touch screen.

Mostly live in sport mode, put it in tour on rough roads.
When I first got the car I ran in tour with the exhaust in track, but it was a pain switching to stealth exhaust when pulling into the garage, now I just switch from sport to tour before parking.

For quick joy rides around the neighborhood:
Exhaust - Track
Steering - Track
Suspension - Enhanced Track mode's Sport1

For highway driving:
Steering - Track
Exhaust - Track
Suspension - Touring

I've had the car 5 1/2 weeks and i get blown away every time I get behind the wheel....god, I love this car, lol.

99% track mode, other than occasional bumpy roads or quiet neighborhoods in tour.
Come on it’s a 1LE
I don’t DD so it’s mostly driving to tracks or going for weekend trips. IMO track suspension is still pretty comfortable.
For steering, track is the only way I feel really connected to the car. Other modes have a slightly synthetic touch for my taste. But as said above, to each their own
