Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Dynamic Stability Control
The new BMW 7-Series is equipped with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) as standard equipment. Dynamic Stability Control could only be implemented in coordination with the central vehicle dynamics control in the Integrated Chassis Management's (ICM) master control unit. The newly introduced function "Driving Dynamics Control" also influences the operation of DSC. Depending on the selected stage (COMFORT, NORMAL, SPORT, SPORT+), the threshold values and characteristics of the DSC interventions also have to be adapted. Alongside the co-ordination, there are other changes to Dynamic Stability Control that concern the installation position, display functions, as well as diagnosis and repair.
