Just a thought. Why disengage DSC every time? If you drive smoothly you can keep an M5 very near its limits without DSC intervening. And yes, it can be driven harder with it off, and I turn it off some times. But not every moment is hard driving. Lots of it is monotonous freeway miles in traffic when some bozo might suddenly yank the wheel for a lane change right into you. The DSC absolutely can and will save your life. I strongly encourage you to turn it off ONLY when you ARE driving hard, and switch it back on again any other time.
