To illustrate, put the car in sport+ (really, this is the mode I use 90% of the time, unless I'm just highway driving) - you'll see the small DSC warning light on the dash. Now press the DSC off button and hold it for a couple of seconds. You'll get a big yellow caution light in the dashboard adaptive display, as well as a warning on the top line of the iDrive display telling you DSC is turned off.
THanks H-Doc

I will give it a try - after I run it in.
