Tuners can this be done?

Is there anyway to allow S6 while keep traction control on? Why you may ask or what is the point? I personally feel there is a level of excitment in S6 that is not there in S5. However the excitment and brutality is also dangerous for the roads and never use it since I don't ever want to lose control at the expense of someone else. But there must be a way to do this?

Also nobody has cracked the servotronic steering yet I believe but perhaps nobody has wanted to or interested. I find at 110 mph that I could use a heavier weight servo setting

Checked with ESS on this. The ESS DCT software makes S5 setting very similar to the stock S6 feel, therefore adding a "S7" feel when you selecting DSC OFF/S6. In retrospect: everything gets elevated a notch.

Hope this helps.

Is there rev matching in S3 with the DCT software?

Haven't installed our file yet, but will report back when we get some miles on it.

PM me your mail and I'll be happy to follow up with you.

It's counter intuitive to have S6 on with traction control on, because that will only cause a shift that induces more traction loss, followed by an immediate limit from the DSC unit.

Firmness of shifts in DCT software might give you what you're looking for, but S6 will always be better regardless. I drive my E60 M5 in S6 DSC off everywhere I go.

S6 being available with MDM might be a decent tradeoff

I am not looking for the optimum situations but rather the most fun while still being safe. Is it possible even though it may not make sense to many? I liked the idea of allowing S6 with MDM. That seems the best of both worlds. So even though this makes no sense, can it be done for those of us who actually would use S6 more if we could keep mdm on?
