My Ride: Now Driving a Freakin' Prius!
Was...
2004 545i | SMG | White/Black | Sport | NAV | Logic 7 | PDC | Fold-down Seats | Adaptive Headlights | Cold Weather Pkg | Clear-again Bra | Mud Flaps | Bluetooth | Coat Hangar | Aux Input | All Weather Mats | 18"X8.5" BBS RK w/ Michelin Pilot Alpin's (winter) | New steering rack @ 1.2K & 17K miles| Software V.19.1 | B&B Exhaust (vrrrroooooommm!) <---Click.
Just took my assistants kid for a "ride" in my 5. He was quite impressed with the cornering and the sound system. Figured I'd "push him back in the seat a bit" so I did an Accelleration Assist. Evidently there must not have been a whole lot of traction as I literally LIT-UP 1st AND 2nd. I looked like a total ass (probably) to whoever was behind me 
. It wasn't my intention. I wanted to launch and slam a few gears. Oh well. He was actually impressed (but I wasn't - too old for that). Anyway, my point is further confirmed that JUST the passengers side rear roasted.
Looks like if I want to lay down two strips a new M5 is in my future

There is no way you should light up the tires with DSC on. I've tried it numerous times, and the system should cut power to the wheels, whether on the straight or around a curve. You should have to turn it off completely to light up the tires.
I would have your dealer check it - sounds like something is wrong.

Road and Track was right.? ? Floor it in DSC mode, and it's like you just drove your car into a river.

My Ride: G30 M550i
Model Year: 2018
To do an Acceleration Assist (launch control), you need to disable DSC (and DTC) completely by holding down the DSC button for longer than three seconds.
It sounds like realtyman's car is working as designed and he performed the acceleration assist properly.
