What's so confusing?

It's available in low rpm, high load situations and you activate it with your right foot.

New question: Is overboost available every time you ask for it, or is there a wait after is has been used for its whole 5 seconds? If so, how long?

Triggering overboost? For hitting the "Big O" on the 1M: Pedal To The Metal!
Dies off after 5-ish seconds, getting ready for the next PTTM treatment. Alike fencing: "En Garde! Prêts? Allez!". Experience the rush, time and time again.

Agreed. I had it set that way on my M5.

If I hadn't been informed that there is an over boost I wouldn't have known from driving it. And yes I do drive fast and yes I have used the car on the track. I also don't get all the myths and misinformation around the M button. Read the manual, it's explained in simple terms.

If I'm reading it right on here, I'm surprised that you have to wait 5 seconds for the overboost to kick in after you've pressed the throttle wide open. I thought the overboost would come in immediately and last for 5 seconds?!
