I am not too familar with the 5 series, but it is named DCT in the 335 while it is named DSC in the M3.
During my incident, I had DCT ON (with the DCT logo shows on the on board computer), which means traction control should intervented LATER then when it is OFF (No light whatsoever). I tried all 3 settings before with same corners same day, first with DCT OFF (No Light whatsoever), traction is constantly or immediately be intervented. With DCT ON (with DCT logo shows on the on board computer), tractoin control is still there, but the intervention comes noticably later. Finally, hold the DCT button until it turns all traction aids off, the intervention comes even later and I didn't dare to go any further as I was on a street.
Back to the incident, I had DCT ON, but throughout the entire incident, from rear starts kicking out, during and after my correction, there were not intervention whatsoever....
Cheers,
Mike

DSC on = Light off
DSC off = Light on
I mean this, didnt I?
What am meaning here is even a 300bhp monster like the 335, with the DSC on (Light off), your traction should intervented by the DSC immediately when it noticed a spin.
So if you say your car moved to the other lane, that sounds abnormal to me if you had the DSC on (Light off)

Here it is.
Its about the redstuff temperature (Although it didnt say start working with 50'c)
The old one has only 0.33 friction level, the new one has 0.5

As what i can remember, lotus exige is using redstuff as standard
