E65 DSC failure

Hi,



As I moved off tonight, got a shuddering noise like I had driven over some rough stones, followed by "DSC failure, please drive moderately" warning. Any ideas??

I believe DSC is Dynamic Stability Control.

Were you driving on ice or snow? I had a (non bmw) loaner with DSC once and the manual recommended turning off the DSC when getting started in ice or snow.

This just happened to me on ice/snow about two weeks ago. I turned off the car for 1 day and now the message is gone. I was scared too. :) I hope yours goes away too.

Cheers for the reply, actually I got it all wrong, the failure I got was ' Drive System Control failure - please drive moderately'. I could drive the car ok and the next morning the fault had gone. Apparently this is an indication of low power steering fluid although when I checked, everything looked ok. Hasn't come up again since!

Many thanx
