Also, new Camaro's and Corvettes are DAMN fast and handle DAMN well. In the hands of a person with driver-mod, they're lethal track weapons. GM is currently making some of the best cars for the money. Quote:

Of course the vehicle with stability control will brake the front outside brake because duh: understeer. Also, trail braking is a thing and the rear WILL come out with trail braking. Everyone knows that the rear end of these cars are very stiff, and everyone here knows that with such a sharp front end and stiff rear end.. the rear WILL push the front so much that DSC potentially thinks there's less grip at the front than there actually is. The entire basis of this thread is based around DSC helping the driver out because the driver isn't driving the car correctly. The car has a higher handling threshold than the driver, and DSC is smarter than the driver too. Turn DSC off and the car becomes very manageable in the hands of an experienced driver, and will quickly bite the next driver who thinks they're a better driver than they really are. Either way, rock on guys. Drive the cars, and take it to the track to learn how the car reacts to your inputs. After learning the car, these "twitches" will go away. |

UNDERsteer would have DSC brake the INSIDE REAR wheel to get the car to pivot. The FRONT OUTSIDE brake is applied to correct OVERsteer. Quote:
IMO, contrary to what you are saying, the DSC is simply very conservatively tuned to be SAFE for the average driver. It does however prevent the experienced driver to fully exploit the chassis and natural handling dynamics of the car.

I do not know any of these drivers, so it is possible that some may be exceeding their own driving limits (or that of the vehicle), but as mentioned above it does not seem that way. Although I have never personally felt the "rolling over" sensation mentioned by OP, I will say I have experienced numerous occasions in many different BMWs where DSC was a bit aggressive. I am not a professional or licensed race driver, but am confident enough in my own ability (to include on the track) to know when I have pushed the car beyond its limit. In my experience DSC is not only over aggressive but can make the car behave in a manner you do not expect and hence feel "twitchy". Long story short I agree that this is an inherent feature of the vehicle/DSC system, but I do not believe that if you are driving and your inputs cause DSC intervention that you are necessarily driving the car incorrectly. I love BMWs and my F80, but my biggest (and only) complaint is the programming of the DSC system. I believe GM has figured this out so not sure why BMW cannot. P.S. I personally think drivers should leave some level of DSC on while on the street as a) you are probably not as attentive as you may be on the track, and b) to many variables and not much safe run off on the road. |

What part of 30mph corner do you guys not understand? So that's on the limit now is it? I get this issue in certain scenarios and it is nothing to do with on limit behaviour. Imagine hitting a patch of black ice or as one poster says it feels like the tyre has rolled off the rim momentarily.
I personally think it is a tight diff issue as the car is driving you forward when it shouldn't. It was much more prevalent early on. I can't remember the last time it has happened as I am on 12k miles and drive in mdm (shock horror) all the time now. |

I've been playing about in MDM mode lately in the dry, on many of the roads I had this problem previously, it's significantly reduced...
My non competition M3 was always rock solid so I wonder if there is a software tweak that BMW can do to alleviate this, as I don't fancy using MDM in the wet, and as said above this can happen at low speeds.

Anyone had any updates or been to the dealers for any tweaks to the DSC software of an alignment?
Mine is still doing it, less so in MDM, but I'm currently less happy with this car than I was with my previous non ZCP car.

I also tried the same corners in MDM and the feeling of the rear wheels sliding off is almost entirely gone! You could try Euro MDM if you don’t have it already

Booked in Tuesday the 5th to see if they can find anything wrong. Let's hope they don't blame my ACS springs,

We're not steaming into bends and 80mph and suddenly lifting right off.

But what I have discovered is that MDM mode or TC off completely solves the problem, so it's not the electronic steering. It's the way the TC system is programmed. |

It doesn't appear to be in every car, or if it is, folks haven't run into it yet or didn't notice. But honestly, now that I know what the cause is, it's not a big deal. If I'm gentleman driving and want to keep full TC on, I'm not going fast enough around bends to make it a major issue. When I want to be more spirited in the corners, I just plop it into MDM and problem is completely gone

Just to update. I've been at my dealers a few times now to remedy this issue...
So far I've tried... 666M with spacers - had issue 666M without spacers - had issue Aftermarket wheels - same issue Tyre pressures bang on Alignment is perfect - still have issue Just yesterday I had the latest software update on the car to see if this cures it, roads were very cold and wet on the way home so couldn't get a chance to really demonstrate it but I did go round a roundabout twice while easing off the pedal and it stayed straight and true...
