My Ride: Silvr Gray 545, 6spd manual, breyton front, acs rear wing, navi, maya dtm 20" on H&R springs and Eismann exhaust.
So i was driving my 545 yesterday and i pressed the dts or dsc whatever its called button and i held on to it and it said dsc inactive which made a huge difference in the performance of my car I WAS BLOWN AWAY at how loose and fast my car got. Anyone else experiance this?

Can you please update your profile as to let us know where you are from? Also, please provide the specs for your 545 in your signature.
Here's another neat trick:
Steptronic: brake torque
SMG: Launch control
Manual: Drop the clutch
All three will launch you from a standstill with some wheel spin. So which tranny do you have?

When I attended BMW driving school a few years back they were using 330i's that have two Radio Shack quality switches on the dash - one completely turns off the stability control and one turns off the ABS. That was serious fun!!!!
