And let me tell you, my E90 was dead this morning! I thought it would be the same as for follow me home feature, the lights just lights up in a minute. |

Ok, i'll be honest and that I did not read every post in here so I am not sure anyone list this yet. I am sure it has been discussed in the forum before. But I want to list it here.
When I drive, I like to turn on the music on my logic 7 system up a bit (to drown out the crackling interior noise ). I stopped by the gas station and turn off the engine. Get back into the car and start the engine again. The music level has turned back to a minimum level. I dont think this feature was available in my e46.

Pressing it quickly disables traction control, but stability control stays on. you will see the DTC light on your dash. Pressing it and holding it will disable traction and stability and put a little hazard icon on your guages. I learned the hard way on the skid pad. |

Not sure if that's the same thing you're referring to since you mentioned shutting down then restarting, but if not then hey this is another feature

DSC = Dynamic Stability Control --> Works to keep your car stable When DSC is On (Default - No light in dashboard), DTC is also on, as it's a part of DSC. DSC uses many sensors and very computing to keep your car on the indented trajectory:
I tested it Driving on a snow covered wide space (little bit icy under snow), and did a quick turn @ 45Km/h, DCS intervened and cut throttle (even as I was pressing harder) braked some of the wheels and kept the car going where I was pointing it. In other words, when DSC kicks in, you are no longer really controlling all the inputs besides steering or if you decide to completely get off throttle and slam brakes. DSC is all about Stability! ************************************************** DTC = Dynamic Traction Control --> Work to keep your drivewheels from spinning out of control When you do a quick press of the DTC button; (DTC light in dashboard),the car is basically warning you that only DTC is on. DTC works manly with ABS to keep your drive wheels from spinning out of control. I tested it Driving on that same snow covered wide space (little bit icy under snow), and did a quick turn @ 45Km/h, The rear of the car went out and I had to counter steer to bring it back where I wanted & DSC kicked in as I gave more gas and kept the wheels spinning while limiting spin. In other words, when DTC kicks you are controlling all the inputs, it will not factor in anything for you besides limiting drive wheels spin (not an LSD) to give you a certain level of TRACTION. What that made me realize is that it's nice to be a good driver and control you car, but If I did the same thing on the road with only DTC on... the ass of the car would have either, clipped a curb, guard rail or a car next to me. ****************************************** LAST: If you keep the button pressed for a little longer ... then you are on your own with the Beast. Again I tried my little test with all of it off. I can tell you that, with the amount of torque in the car the wheels in snow or ice (even with very little throttle), the engine revved and the wheels spun and spun and spun ... no Traction. I would recommend this mode either on track or on nice warm day at limited speeds. |

Gosh, this "how do I turn on/off DTC/DSC" discussion has raged on in many threads in the past. Driving home yesterday I had to turn my DTC on (single press of button, light comes on in dash) due to very snowy conditions.

I totally agree with the 2nd paragraph. Even some with more expensive cars are envious. My detail guy said, "I really love your car" the other day. He drives a 650Ci.

Why doesn't the driver side mirror angle down when you put it in reverse? Or am I missing something???
I really like the feature but could use the same feature on the left side rear view mirror.

-With CA, car will only let you open the door you are closest to, so if you are at the drivers door, and someone places their hand in the passenger door, it wont open.
-Leaving your keys inside the car and trying to close the door with finger on door handle wont work, car is stopping you from being an idiot and locking yourself out. -With CA, if you are trying to open the trunk, press the trunk button on the underside next to your license plate and then move your palm (immedietly after pressing) closer to the BMW emblem. This will cause it to open faster. Well, it does for me, thats my story and I'm sticking with it. -Stupid North American people cannot be trusted to hold the lock button on the key fob to close windows/sunroof/mirror as can be done with CA by holding finger on lock position. -The cruise control system actually applies your brakes and turns on brake lights if you are going downhill or lower your CC speed setting.
