Sorry not to attend to this matter earlier but I had to leave for a Board of Directors' meeting in Philadelphia. I promise to be more responsive in the future :notworthy:

To our OP - I suggest you download the owner's manual from this forum - https://5series.net/information/ - it's easier to search than flipping through the pages ... Where you'd find the following information:

If I turn off the DSC while driving in the city, does it help to reduce the gas consumption or something else?

I got this indicate light on once, when I accelerated after a traffic light.

DCS invokes only when complex technology and systems indicate it's needed ... you'll lose the benefit of "control" exactly when you need it most by disabling the system.

The DSC has no effect on mileage. It is a passive monitoring system. It came on at the light to tell you the DSC was braking one of your drive wheels since it was starting to spin. The system was doing its job at the appropriate time.
