I'm not saying traction control is a bad thing. It will save you in emergency situations and extreme conditions... But I do believe people are too reliant on technology to save them from what people learned to do without before.

OP, even DSC can't overcome the laws of physics.

I personally drive with the nannies on because even though I've been driving cars without traction control/DSC for over 20 years all have been front wheel drive with the exception of one. That one car just happened to be a V8 but nowhere near as powerful as this M3. I can drive but am not the Stig and would love to keep enjoying the car at the limit of my ability and common sense. I'm reasonably confident I'd catch most mistakes with DSC defeated but what if I don't. I like to drive spirited like everyone else but we're all on public roads.

Tires break loose very easily when you are going around a turn. Combine that with the fact that the tires are bald and you're in a 400Hp RWD car and you have to realize that, in order for the traction control to keep you from breaking loose, it would most likely have to slow your car down to a crawl... Most people don't want their M3 to bog/crawl no matter the scenario. You have to control the car, the traction control is just there to assist

No.. All newer BMW's have 'DSC' Some M3's have 'MDM' - doesn't matter if you have NAV or not. No M3 has DTC, that's only on non-M variants.
