I don't recall hearing of or seeing an adaptive mode. It may not be available on the M5. But I've not yet touched the manual. It's possible there are things that can be tweaked.

In my car, it's on the center console between Comfort and EcoPro.

Apparently, BMW eliminated it after my year. It was first introduced on the 7 series, which makes me think it should be on your car? And Alan has it on his M550...

No such buttons on the M5.

I saw that when I googled it, but it seems that those are the generic BMW options but not applicable to M cars. In fact, you can't even change the defaults settings:

That's too bad. Some folks swear by Comfort+, too. (Which my car does not have, I think.)

Speaking of drive modes, how did you configure the M1 and M2 buttons the steering wheel?
