how does this g-tech RR thing work? how does it measure the speed/torque/hp of the car?

i read the manual online, but the only connection you make to the car seems to be power through the 12v outlet...

Does the Speedbuster unit in the 535D install the same as the ACS unit in the 530D ie. one male/female plug harness that T's into the fuel delivery harness at the front of the engine?

Percentage wise I am getting the same increase but starting from a much lower base of 150kW and 490Nm (South African spec. 530D).

Where people have posted above that they had DSC off - did they really mean off, or did they mean they'd pressed the button once to actually enable the DTC feature - i.e. a little wheel spin allowed?

I held mine for a few second until DSC went off.

Never though of it when I was doing the speed run.

Isn't the traction control the important thing though, not DSC? Although of course the only way to turn them both off is to do as you say, hold it. I got great starts at the 1/4 mile strip with DTC activated - the "push the button once" mode.
