All lights blinking on the dash, in the first instances , the car not letting me use MY input to correct felt like rape , and although it went quickly, it felt like minutes. I guess i felt insulted that if the car couldn't keep itself from at least "swerving", I should of had a chance myself....
I had a similar mishap in my E46 M3. It was in wet snow conditions, the car just spun with DSC on, there is nothing I could do to keep it straight. When the car stopped, all the lights came on in the dash (multiple malfunctions). I found out that the wet snow blocked the readings from the wheel speed sensors and DSC became totally wacko.
