Traction control comparison between G80 and F80

DuckCoverRoll · 04-05-2021, 11:41 AM

BMW released this rather interesting video showing hie DSC compares between the F80 and the G80. It also goes into depth of how the MDM works in the new G80, plus apparently you can "dial in" the level of intervention under DSC off mode too. Pretty fascinating!

That's nice...

...turns traction control completely off

I literally drive with traction control off 100% of the time. Traction control is wrong I say, wrongggggg. Control the car with your right foot!

This is the way.

It's a very cool video that shows how the G8X finally has a cool traction control system like other manufacturers

I track with that off, but it's a nice safety net for 99% of humans driving on the track

Definitely. You can be a complete beginner and walk back the traction control as you level up, love the variety of settings
