By dsc off i mean: powerslides or drifts or straight wheelspin or burnout or...all of them 
.
Just curious of what is the outcome of this poll. I hope no one votes for no 7 and well as few as possible for no 6.
Cheers.

I have actually never turned off my DSC yet. Maybe because I got my car last autumn but now when it's almost summer I will press that magic button

I haven't turn that off yet. Although I already had the DSC mailfunction already.
Do you really feel major difference between on and off??

My Ride: (E60) 535D M-Sport (DMS)
I opted for option 1, however in the 535d it was probably option 6 but as i'm learning to drive again in the M5, i like to have little plays & that's best done with the M-Button pressed & DSC off.
Certainly not recommended for everyday use in which case option 2 or 3 & on a longer run i'd probably have it firmly switched on but hit the M-Button when i fancy a play.

I have tried switching the DSC off but there still seems to be an element of traction control, I assumed this was built in to stop people having too much fun with the torque from the 535d.
