E46 Dynamic Stability Control (DSC III): Introduction

The DSC III system is being introduced as an option for the E46 beginning with Model Year 1999 production. The system is similar to the DSC III being used on the E38 and E39 vehicles, however it is manufactured by Teves for use in the E46.

The system incorporates all of the features of the previous Teves slip control system and adds the lateral dynamic control of the DSC III system already installed on the E38/E39s.

The Teves DSC system is designed to maintain the lateral locating forces for following:

• ABS Braking Control
• ASC+T Traction Control
• DSC - Dynamic Stability Control for oversteer and under steer conditions
