Anyone knows if march E60 models had DCS updated?
I mean functions that are now standard in 3 series, as dry braking in the wet, start-off assistance and enhanced brake readiness.

Thanks.

I forgot that... Sounds interesting,

although it means increased electronic complexity,

so more bugs possible :'(

Thanks, Merv

I don't think its a March issue, my brochure says those features are already in the car.

I'd prefer DSC minus. It's the first thing I turn off after I start the car.

The stuff that was mentioned earlier in this thread, such as: "dry braking in the wet, start-off assistance and enhanced brake readiness and comfort stop"... There was a thread about the changes somwhen earlier.
Those changes are in March05 and can't be retrofitted.
