Yep, I leave DSC on. Prepare to make a right hand turn, crank the wheel to the right, and floor it. Did this on a 550i at the Komen event two years ago. Very well controlled with wheel spin, tire squeal, and uber fun. The rear end will step out and DSC will correct it by counter rotation. Just point the front end straight down the road.

turn DSC and DTC off and u'll have LOTS of fun. but keep that off the streets or in a WIDE open area where ur not going to hurt anyone and urself.
with the 545i, i can get second and third gear chirps. In 1st with DSC and DTC off, i made a half a street burnout before.

Depends how hot the roads are. On the Florida roads, it is difficult to break loose the tires during the day. How have you now floored your car yet!?!?!
You can have a lot of fun with these cars. Especially in the rain!

I haven't turned off my DTC in a while. I will have to try it again
