Never ending DSC error, possible lemon
I have been getting a DSC error intermittently over the past 2k miles or so. yesterday was a good example of what the triggers might be. it was about 50 when i put it in the garage and 26 when i left this morning. it never triggers while driving but only after start up and within 1-100 feet of driving. it has been in the shop twice now. the first time they replaced the idle valve (which i thought was cleared up back in 2009), and the second time they replaced the actuator rod for the idle vale control. today i am dropping off the car again for the third time for the same identical reason.
In MA the lemon law is same trouble 3 times or 15 days with out your car, at least from what i have read. i purchased the car in RI so do i have to use their lemon law? will i lose money on a buy back, anyone have a similar story? 2011 E90 M3 ~5K miles UPDATE: they opened up a puma case and bmw gave them the green light to reprogram the car everything has been working fine since, knock on wood. UPDATE: 4.3.2012 - 12,000 miles no return of issue during last winter, i think its safe to say that the coding did the trick. Last edited by audioMeth; 04-03-2012 at 05:34 PM.. Reason: update |

I am also in MA and have gotten the DSC message about six times over the last two years. It has always been on a cold morning or starting in an icy spot. It has never come on while driving and goes away afterr a restart. I have always written it off as a glitch and wouldn't think of lemoning the car over it.
Have you had any direct problems from the DSC error or any serious issues with the car?

It sounds like yours happens way more often. I have noticed if I am in a real hurry and backup just after starting the car I am more likely to get the error message. Also, I have never seen it when temps are above 50.
I hope you can get it sorted out.
