[QUOTE="3er, post: 192266, member: 54"] M = Manual It will retain the gear in which you select. e.g. switch in "M" gear selector in "3" the gear box will remain in 3rd gear at all times even if you are stopped, on a hill, at 110km/h, accelerating or decelerating, etc. The * is the same as M. The * is a snowflake. It is used in winter to reduce the possibility of wheel spin and to have more control. (This was in the days before traction control or ASC in BMW terms) Hope that helps.
