Hey everyone-
So after owning my m3 cabrio for about exactly a month now, i'm noticing a weeeeeeeeeird thing with my DSC (yes, i keep it switched on when driving on public roads). Basically, once it's invoked, it takes forever to give me my power back. Most extreme examples happened yesterday:
I came out of a parking lot and punched it to get ahead of an oncoming car. This was on Skyline Blvd up in SF, headed south en route to the 280-S. The lanes were about to merge, so I floored it in 1st gear and I guess the inside wheel slipped enough to cause DSC to start bitching at me. Expecting the DSC to just get over it once it realized I was going straight, I kept my foot on the gas needing full throttle as soon as the electronic nanny would allow it, only it was probably a few precious seconds before DSC finally decided to trust me and let the electronic reigns go.
Then, while doing the merge from Skyline Blvd to the 280-S, which is a VERY steep, downhill, 270* on-ramp, the DSC went bezerk as I tried to power out of the turn at the end: even after driving perfectly straight for at least 5 seconds, the DSC light kept flashing and would NOT give me all my engine power back until I let up on the throttle for a second or two, and even thehn, only gradually gave me more and more power back before finally shutting up.
Is this normal behavior?
Thank you,
--Marc
