Press and hold DSC button for a few second, DTC will be off. Continue holding DSC button, DSC will be off.

I wouldn't call this a problem, because like I said the car just flew off the line, and I really don't feel like I need to go this fast, ever, but it did feel like there was more HP there that wasn't being fully utilized.

Then why did u buy a 545i ?

Because the 530i is "under kill" in my opinion. My commuting car (Acura TL) is faster than a 530-- it didn't seem right to spend that much more for the 530i. Better to have too much than not enough. Also, the deals on the 545i have been very good in advance of the 550i's launch.

I'm clueless. I see a DTC button (by the parking sensor bottom) but I don't see a DSC button. Are they the same?

Yes - I believe they changed the button name in more recent cars. i believe the function is the same though.
