I have the adaptive M suspension, and was wondering which setting is best to get the tail out in your opinion.

I have been trying in sport+ mode, as sport mode dont really allow any loss of traction. But there is also an OFF button above the normal/sport/sport+ settings button.

If you click this something happens, but if you hold it, something else comes up. Do these setting further loosen up the car?
As noted, Sport+ allows some loss of traction and a little play to drift. I believe it is equivalent to pressing Trac Off briefly. Pressing Trac Off for several seconds turns DSC OFF. IIRC, that puts you in Sport mode if you had been in Sport+. With DSC off, you should be able to drift the most but have no safety net. I would only try that in parking lots with lots of room. Or on track with a good instructor riding along.
