The Hidden menu of course is what I'm referring to! In searching for the option to check oil level (which incidentally doesn't seem to exist on my M272 model), I must have hit a wrong button.

Ended up with ESP and ABS turned off. At first, I thought something had broken, but eventually realised it was my fiddling which had turned it off. Kept seeing reference to 'Test Rig' and Diagnostics.

Made for some interesting driving, tail out oversteer on a nicely curved slip road, and some very cautious braking!

Anyway, eventually managed to solve it by restoring factory settings! It was however a bit of a revelation into how much power the car has, and how well it puts down and controls the power!
 
I reckon without all the modern 'driving aids' that come standard on today's high performance cars 98% of them would be in a hedge or upside down within a month.
 
Surprised that you are 'allowed' to turn the ABS off.
