OK, as mentioned in my post

You are correct, but iDrive is a but murky in the way it presents it to you. Here we go again, when DSC is ON, DTC is also active. When you press the "DTC" button on your dash once, the warning lamp in cluster warns (Orange) you that only DTC is left & iDrive says DTC activated ... I guess for the common bloke

[QUOTE=needforspeed;653959]You can't activate something that is already on ... are you saying that you have special information which leads you to conclude that the message on idrive is wrong?[/QUOTE]

Yes I do; "I have special information" that lead is correct ... BMW itself. http://www.bmwusa.com/uniquelybmw/Innovations/Index
