explains, BMW's M3 and M4 models are so electronically customizable that drivers are able to finetune every aspect of the car's behavior.
From the iDrive screen, drivers can adjust engine response, transmission shifts, suspension stiffness, steering feel, and even braking response. Separate center console buttons control the exhaust sound and traction control settings.
The intrigue truly starts with M Mode, which allows drivers to assign their favorite configurations to two steering wheel buttons labeled M1 and M2. With a simple tap, drivers can instantly switch between their personalized performance setups—like going from a Sunday cruise to an F1 lap—without fumbling through all those menu options.
If the car is equipped with M Drive Professional, it unlocks an additional set of M Modes:
Road, the default and keeps most driver assists active;
Sport reduces intervention from systems like lane keeping and collision warning; and
Track disables nearly all of those assistance systems and even turns off the iDrive screen to limit distractions. Of course, this is meant strictly for closed-course driving.
So Quinn's joke about not being able to drive without M Mode is probably tongue-in-cheek, but maybe a touch lowkey serious. Once you've dialed in the perfect setup for how you like your BMW to drive, going back to the default can feel just a bit boring. Put another way, when you've tasted beast mode, it's hard to go back to Bambi.

Dave Ramsey Caller Discovers Her Boyfriend Hid $80,000 In Credit Card Debt. Now He's Asking Her To Co-Sign A $100,000 Loan On His Home
A woman from Raleigh, North Carolina, called into 'The Ramsey Show' recently with a jaw-dropping financial dilemma. Allie, who has been with her boyfriend for over a decade, recently learned he secretly racked up $80,000 in credit card debt. Now, he wants her to co-sign a $100,000 home equity line of credit on a house she doesn't even own. He Took Care Of Her After A Tragedy, Now She's Paying All The Bills Allie said she only discovered the debt when her boyfriend hit a financial wall. "He hit the end of the rope," she told co-hosts George Kamel and Jade Warshaw. That's when she learned he had maxed out every credit card. He also still owes $40,000 in student loans. Don't Miss: Accredited Investors: Grab Pre-IPO Shares of the AI Company Powering Hasbro, Sephora & MGM— 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. You can His spending problem? Classic cars. Allie explained that he runs a restoration shop but is terrible at managing the business side. "He sees a car he wants, he gets it. He cycles through like three or four sports cars a year," she said. Despite living with him for the last two years, her name isn't on the mortgage. He recently asked her to co-sign a $100,000 home equity line of credit, or HELOC, so he could pay off the credit card debt. Allie immediately knew that was a bad idea. "If he takes one of those sports cars and wraps her around a telephone pole, I'm stuck with his debt for the rest of my life," she said. Allie admitted she briefly considered helping because of what he did for her in the past. After a devastating car accident left her with spinal injuries and a traumatic brain injury, Allie lost her house, car, job and life savings. Her health insurance company sued her to recover the $500,000 they had spent on her care. With nowhere else to go, she moved in with her boyfriend, who helped her recover. But now, she's the one carrying the financial burden. "I'm currently paying all of our bills," she said. "Because he has nothing to pay them with." Trending: $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. Not Married, No Ring, No Security Kamel and Warshaw were straightforward: she should not feel guilty or obligated to co-sign anything. "If somebody does something out of an act of generosity, they're not looking to be paid back," Warshaw said. They also pointed out how financially risky her situation has become. "You're paying his bills and you're broke," Kamel told her. "You're not really gaining as much as you think." Allie revealed she now earns about $35,000 a year, down from $70,000 before her injuries. Her health limitations keep her from taking more physically demanding jobs. And she said she feels trapped because she doesn't make enough to afford a place of her own. Still, she admitted that if she had more money, she would leave the relationship. Kamel and Warshaw encouraged her to keep searching for a rental or roommate situation. "There's a bunch of great girls out there who would love a great roommate like Allie who can pay her fair share," Kamel said. "He has chosen his obsession over you."

Trump's EPA Wants to Pretend That Greenhouse Gases Aren't a Threat to Human Health
In 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 'endangerment finding' empowered the U.S. to regulate emissions of greenhouse gases. This scientific and legal determination ruled that planet-warming gases such as carbon dioxide are dangerous to human health and welfare. Now, the Trump administration has moved to rescind that finding. At an auto dealership in Indiana on Tuesday, July 29, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin unveiled the agency's proposal to repeal the finding. The EPA claims this move would save Americans $54 billion in costs annually through the elimination of all greenhouse gas standards for motor vehicles and engines, including Biden's electric vehicle mandate. The rollback marks the most aggressive attempt by President Donald Trump to unravel federal restrictions on fossil fuels. Zeldin called it the 'largest deregulatory action in the history of America' on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports. 'With this proposal, the Trump EPA is proposing to end 16 years of uncertainty for automakers and American consumers,' Zeldin said, according to an agency release. Scientists, climate advocates, environmental policy experts, and former EPA leaders warn the repeal would have severe consequences for American health, well-being, and the climate. 'Abandoning all efforts to address climate change is not in the best interest of anyone but the fossil fuel industry, which has made trillions of dollars over the last 50 years and has shown that if unchecked, it will pursue profits at any cost, even if that destroys the American way of life,' Shannon Baker-Branstetter, senior director of domestic climate at the Center for American Progress, said in a statement. The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to regulate any air pollutant that endangers public health or welfare. In 2007, the Supreme Court ruled that greenhouse gases are subject to this mandate. Two years later, the endangerment finding determined that current and projected atmospheric concentrations of six key greenhouse gases 'threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations.' The simultaneously issued 'cause or contribute finding' pointed to motor vehicles and engines as major sources of hazardous greenhouse gas emissions. These determinations serve as the legal basis for the EPA to regulate planet-warming pollution. In the 16 years since the agency issued the endangerment finding, scientists have found overwhelming evidence to show that greenhouse gases endanger public health and drive global warming. Even under EPA regulation, emissions have led to deadly consequences for countless Americans, driving more frequent and intense extreme weather events and worsening air quality. Despite this, conservatives and some congressional Republicans have argued that the real threat is overregulation and hidden taxes. In March, Zeldin announced a formal reconsideration of the endangerment finding on the grounds that the EPA failed to consider the regulatory fallout back in 2009. That move was part of a series of environmental rollbacks that aimed to eliminate 31 regulations on clean air, clean water, climate change, and more, according to the AP. Trump set the precedent for these actions with a day-one executive order to drastically scale back environmental regulations, which also demanded the EPA submit a report 'on the legality and continuing applicability' of the endangerment finding. Now, Zeldin aims to 'undo the underpinning of $1 trillion in costly regulations' by revoking the finding altogether, according to the EPA release. The proposal must go through a lengthy review process, including public comment, before it's finalized. Environmental groups have voiced strong opposition to the decision and vowed to fight it, including the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC). 'The EPA wants to shirk its responsibility to protect us from climate pollution, but science and the law say otherwise,' Christy Goldfuss, executive director of the NRDC, said in a statement. 'NRDC's lawyers and scientists are not going to let that happen without a fight. If EPA finalizes this illegal and cynical approach, we will see them in court.'

Ex-WWE head Vince McMahon charged with reckless driving after crash
Vince McMahon, then chair of World Wrestling Entertainment, appears at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2008. McMahon faces charges of reckless driving in a three-car crash in Connecticut. File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo July 30 (UPI) -- Connecticut police charged former WWE CEO Vince McMahon for reckless driving and following too closely after a multicar collision on July 24 in Westport, Conn. McMahon, 78, driving 2024 Bentley Continental GT Speed, allegedly crashed into a BMW 430. Both cars crashed into a wooden guardrail, which sent debris into a median. A 2020 Ford Fusion, driven by a 27-year-old man in the opposite direction, crashed into the debris. There were no injuries. Police released McMahon on $500 bond. He is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on Aug. 26. The driver of the BMW posted her account on Facebook. Barbara Doran, 72, is the founder and CEO of BD8 Capital Partners. She claimed that McMahon hit her after speeding "in and out of cars." "Lucky to have survived a horrific car crash on the way up to catch the ferry to Martha's Vineyard last Thursday morning. Both cars totaled. Vince McMahon @Mr. McMahon /#VinceMcMahon, former chair of WWE, hit me going 80-90mph as I drove in the right lane of the narrow Merritt Highway (built in the 1930s). I and the dog are mostly fine, but was lucky to have kept control of the car, more or less, as I shot off the road after being catapulted over 100 yards. "An unmarked state trooper had been following him as he sped in and out of cars down the highway and had just turned his lights on to pull Mcmahon over, but he was not in time. Both front wheels of McMahon's Bentley were sheared off, and his airbags deployed, probably saving him from significant injury. "The trooper told me afterwards that McMahon saw me last minute and swerved, smashing into my left rear, but that if he had hit me full on, there might've been a very different ending for me." McMahon rose to fame as the owner of WWE. He bought the entity from his father in 1982, and often put himself into the dramatics of wrestling. He stepped down as CEO of WWE in 2022 during an investigation into sexual assault, trafficking and abuse allegations and resigned as executive chair of TKO Group Holdings, the WWE's parent company, in 2023, after a lawsuit was filed by a former employee. In January, he agreed to pay $1.7 million in fines and restitution for violating U.S. securities laws. His wife, Linda McMahon, is the U.S. Secretary of Education.
