I always turn traction control off in the Z06, but never turn off yaw control.

Yaw control is DSC, but with no DTC thrown in--more or less. The Z06 has yaw control and traction control. You can completely turn traction control off and, at the same time, completely leave yaw control on in the Z06--not like the wishy washy BMW system. I guess you can tell which I think is better--by a huge amount.

That would be nice on the BMW... you must love your E60 despite the Z06 though to post here so much!

Anyway, Znod's thread-linking skill and efficiency makes me wonder if he has this forum piped directly into his brain or something... its rather impressive.

I totally love my 545i. The Z06 frequently becomes very jealous because of the disproportionate amount of driving time it gets. The only thing I really have ever disliked is 20.01.00. I like this forum better than the Z06 forum--so I post here mostly. I just have a good memory for the things people say and what forums they say them on. Given these factors, it is easy to search on a specific member's name in a particular forum and find what I am looking for. I have started using "View New Posts" and "Mark all Threads Read", but my main source of efficiency is keeping multiple tabs open--with each open to a different forum I am interested in.

Not too worry about that. How about the cars that doesn't have DSC and DTC functions, what are those driver going to do...
