An interesting one the other day. Cruise was swtiched off automatically and a message came up on Idrive saying that this was due to slippage. It was round a bend and the road was slippery so was a correct functioning - I just never knew it did that.

What's also interesting is that if you disengage DSC in any way -- DTC on or DSC fully off -- you can't engage the cruise control at all...

Took me a couple of minutes to figure it out what the heck was going on the first time I tried to lock in the cruise with DSC off. Great safety feature.

It may be a US/EU difference.

I noticed another thing. If you press the DTC button for >10 seconds, you'll lock the button.
In other words: After pressing it for >10 seconds, pushing the button again doesn't do anything at all until you switch off the car.
Anyone knows what this is for? I can imagine that you could want to lock the safety systems if you give the car to your 18 year old son, but in this case it doesn't make sense as the button works again when you restart the car.
