The steering definitely is more responsive and lighter when the DTC button is held down.
Mine doesn't seem to be, but, you know, BMW software, so variation seems to be something of a rule.

Right you are. Maybe turning off DTC has a greater effect on xi models, because it feels like more power is sent to the back wheels. Also, I can throw the car into corners a little faster when taking turns with DTC off.

Ah so. I didn't notice that you have an xi.
