I would recommend again to reread the info about ADB and how DSC can't be totally turned off on the pre-facelift e53 X5s.



The AWD system does not work like a 4x4 system with a locking differential...nor does it work like the facelift e53 X5 and all other "X" BMWs that have xDrive:




(ignore the text that is highlighted...that was done for a reply a long time ago...but do focus on how DSC functions if the front axle was to be experiencing slip...and how DSC would brake the front and allow the rear to spin)
