[16thBMW]

DSC error, eh? My first thought when it happened the first time was that it was traction control or rev limiter (used to hit that all the time in my E30 325e). Boy, I'd sure like to have that error light come on! It's actually dangerous, since it happens when I pull into traffic and accelerate...and then I just start coasting, while the car behind me thinks I'm going to accelerate to traffic speed. I'm thankful that I haven't gotten rear-ended yet, though they've come close and honked at me.

I still can't reproduce this power disengagement and haven't gotten a error light/message yet. A couple of us DCT owners are trying every scenario we can think of to get it to happen regularly.

Talking to some others who have the same problem, which doesn't feel like engine loss of power, we all agree that it feels like...and one shop foreman agreed...that the DCT sometimes gets "confused" when it has to down shift 2 or more gears under acceleration, and it disengages and the car coasts. But only a couple of DCT owners have had the problem...???

Since mine also clunks hard when first going from Park to R or D, I'm thinking mine may be leaking...which I'm told would NOT show up on the garage floor because of the drip pan.
