BMW 5 Series: Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
Alongside the Vertical Dynamics Platform (VDP) control unit, the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) represents the core element of the driving dynamics control systems used to increase active safety. It optimizes driving stability in all driving conditions and also traction when driving off and accelerating.
Furthermore, it identifies unstable driving conditions such as under or oversteering and helps maintain the stability of the vehicle.

Changing wheels/tires
General information
When using run-flat tires or a flat tire kit, a wheel
does not always need to be changed immediately
when there is a loss of tire inflation pressure
due to a flat tire.
If needed, the tools for changing wheels are
available as accessories from a dealer's service
center or anothe
