Now what you need to do is take some power turns with Traction OFF and Sport Mode ON.

Only time I turn DSC off is when I want to start hard and don't want it to cut my friggin power off. Even with DSC on, the ass end can and will come loose on you, just hope you're up for it when it happens.

I gonna sound stupid but i really don't know:
IF you turn the traction control off in our cars, is it "off" all the way or is it like in all MB's??? AND is that the same way with all BMWs, or just in M's????

Not stupid at all. With the Z4M. one press of the button and you're on your own - it's completely off. With the standard Z4, one press turns of stability control, a second long press turns of taction control - leaving you on your own. In neither case will it come back on by itself. You either have to press the button or start the car again. |
