Default My 2013 EBC S4

Picked it up Friday. EBC with "black" interior with carbon fibre. (I would call it charcoal, maybe, or dark gray, but it said "black" in the order guide.) Most of the options, with the exception of adaptive cruise control. Not much of a chance to drive it so far, but I love it! Very smooth, tight and fast - a very sophisticated car. My previous car was a C55 AMG MB - a great car, but it really can't compare with my S4. I wasn't totally sure about EBC, not having seen it in person, but so far, it's a great choice. Not too many of my friends and acquaintances have seen it yet, but those that have love it. I replaced the V6T badges - which seem meaningless - with the "Supercharged" badges - carbon fibre version. I don't believe we had the option in Canada of ordering the aluminum colored stone guards, matching the mirrors. In any case, having now seen them in pics, I really like them and plan to add them, if it becomes an after-market option for the 2013's. Hope you enjoy the pics............

I can see that you have a "Drive Select" button, but not with the usual layout (with light indication for Comfort .. Dynamic).
Some questions:
Is it only indicated and controlled through MMI?
Is that a change that came with MY 13 or is it special to the S4?
Does it stay in "Individual" mode after a restart of the car?

Firstly, everyone, my apologies for posting in the wrong forum. Not paying enough attention. To answer the questions:
- There is a Drive Select button on the dash I haven't tried yet. I will do so. So far, I have controlled through MMI - either on the console or steering wheel.
- I don't know the answer to the second q.
- It does stay in Individual mode after a restart.

Tried the Drive Select button on the dash. Pushing it allows you to select Dynamic, Sport, Auto or Individual. Also, I was mistaken when I said you can control Drive Select from the steering wheel.
