peterkulesza is an unknown quantity at this point
Guys/Gals:

DSC/traction control is set in the factory to be on without any driver's input. Driver's input is required to turn this thing off, each time the car is started.

I hate the fact that the DSC drives the car for me. BMW tells me that there is no way to reprogram the switch. I find this to be utter bullshit.

Who can join me in a petition to BMW to have the "DSC off until needed" option available on all beemers ?

I also can think of many examples when the DSC can kill me, such as when I step on the power after entering an intersection. I can handle power oversteer no problem, I cannot handle the car cutting off fuel supply and applying brakes without me requesting it.

Any takers ?
