Had a test drive in a 2003 x5 sport auto today and was testing electrics, when I oressed the dsc button nothing happened, nothing lit up. Is this something I need to be concerned with or does it have to be done in a set way

    If the DSC is operating normally when you turn on the ignition the DSC light in the centre of the dash ( orange triangle with a circle around it) should light up and go out on engine start. If you press the DSC button with the engine running the light should come on. BMW recommend only turning it off (light on) in exceptional conditions Deep Snow, Soft Sand, really muddy tracks etc.

    We have towed a horse trailer across slippery muddy fields at shows, and I have been in some inhospitable spots while out shooting and have never touched the DSC button.

    If the light comes on at start then it could be the switch or a fuse, whatever it is tell the seller and ask them to fix it don't fall for any " it only costs a fiver on ebay bullsh^t" if it's that simple they can fix it if they want the sale.
