So the M3 has DSC and the 320d loaner I'm smoking about in at the moment has a button labelled DTC.

In the current greasy conditions I'm quite enjoying finding drive and not chirping, sliding, shimmying around at the slightest hint of power. However last night I thought I'd give it a little cheeky provocaton at a T-junction and before I knew it I was at the most improbable angle and utterly sideways (in a 30 zone, somewhat embarassing ) and far, far more than the M3 allows with DSC on. I had the feeling that it wasn't going to step in and catch it either...

Is it that DTC is actually only Traction Control and not Stability? Seems hard to believe stability isn't standard on a modern BMW...?
