Driving with DSC off??
 

Is it true that it is bad for the X if you drive with DSC off because it locks up all four of the wheel so it becomes four wheel drive?

No its not. You cant lock jack sh*t in the X5. Say it with me S.A.V :)

It doesn't lock up the wheels.. It just stays in normal AWD but you don't have stability control anymore.

I was going to ask the same question, im still confused should i use it in winter rain and snow? and turn it off in summer

also does the car consume more gas when its on?

No.. DSC isn't on unless you need it. All it does is help you. I"d leave it on... It prevents rollovers and skids.

well how come when you durn DSC off the indicator indicates its off and says 4x4...

Thats mean on all the time? when you turn it off

i thought when the 4x4 yellow in the dash thats mean the DSC on :wow: :tsk:

Well the system is on all the time.. it doesnt do anything unless it has to ... It makes no difference with gas mileage or anything.

Mine never said 4x4...
