A bit late to the party but excellently explained and more importantly demonstrated. Just what I wanted to show the differences in system intervention between the different levels of traction control.

I turned DSC and car feels so much smoother and quicker off the line. Even at 60+MPH the car pulls better. I gotta be careful though.

What is the recommended setup to use in snow and ice road? Traction mode on?
@BMWofFW
Жыл бұрын
traction mode is definitely helpful if you're in more than 3 inches of snow, a little wheel slip will help for sure.

Combination of sensors balancing out actual vs requested inputs, as you lower the threshold that it uses to keep you on a safer line. All in all it takes into account things like wheel speed, steering angle, yaw, throttle position, engine output, drive mode, all to make the driving characteristics tailored to your chosen drive mode.

Would have been nice to demonstrate with a stand still hill climb and filming from behind to see wich wheel spin and now(if its rwd) i found that deactivating dsc and keeping traction control works best

If I have an X5 M50i, will I have the “M” traction? Or will it be just the normal traction systems
@BMWofFW
2 жыл бұрын
so you have a version of M traction but it's not the same setup as say an X5M, BMWs official line is that all M cars (including the likes of the M50i) are M cars, but as they don't have the full M engineering behind it for chassis, engine and tuning they're more of an M lite car. With that said... your Sport Plus driving mode along with S shifting will give you the most M you can be (including launch control, traction tuning such as M vectoring and all the glorious M sounds!)

I find out that using sport traction mode actually eliminates jerky brake at the stop. (2022 g01 20i) Do you recommend keeping this mode on during regular city driving? I don’t floor gas pedal or intense cornering.
