For me the answer is that i feel its nice to have it, and its available, so why not. If you take my car for example it means that i dont need to worry too much if its showing below freezing outside, i know that if i get a spot of ice then hopefully it should assist. Its been quite nice having it there on my local small roads covered in wet leaves etc.

Wouldnt want to use it as a means to drive faster than i would otherwise however.

Surely if you know it's sub zero outside on the roads or you can see there are wet leaves you'd slow down to a more appropriate speed and take more care with your driving rather than relying on your lastminute safety aids?
 
Absolutely, but its nice to have :) Ive had it actually kick in ONCE in 9000 miles of ownership. But i know its there incase i have a retard moment.

I suggest you spend less time reading the marketing blurb and get yourself on some driver instruction, then you will truly know what it does do......and what it doesn't. Regurgitate the stuff you have been coming out with on this thread on a BMW driver training day and EVERYONE will simply look at you like this..

I think you'll find my statement was completely accurate. So you can shove your idoitic images.

I am perfectly aware of what DSC does and doesn't do. More so than the vast majority of people on this forum.

It's a real scenario yes but your understanding of what the DSC did is completely flawed. No car, not even F1 or WRC cars, have traction control systems as advanced as this to know to "brake a wheel for a couple milliseconds whilst entering a corner so as to prevent some negative handling trait of the chassis occuring a little bit later in the corner". DSC is purely a "reactive" technology. What reactive means is that it waits for something bad to happen and then by analysing the extent of the problem using wheel rotation sensors it calculates how to correct the problem.

The DSC system detected a moment trying to pull the car around, and the moment would have begun to succeed as the car's traction was reduced during the camber change at speed. The DSC applied the brake to counter what it considers to be potential oversteer and the car carried on it's direct course.
