However, when in MDM, there is a light in the cluster that says "DSC off", which is not really accurate.

I also found that Euro MDM is so much better than the North-American-MDM. With the NA-MDM, it would cut power on every upshift. With Euro-MDM you get much smoother acceleration.
Thank you for the detailed explanations, I went to the car and played w all the settings and w your help I get it.

- Pic 1 shows the lights for MDM and "DSC off", in this mode MDM still intervenes, so for a novice driver it's better to keep this for some fun and some security.

-Pic 2 shows and additional text at bottom right of cluster where all safety electronics are disabled, a mode for instructors and experts such as yourself

Now that I get all this, even w MDM I found myself like riding a bull in a rodeo I need me some class time and practice at an M school. My wife said why is the car so unstable I said, honey, I need to learn how to ride this beast.
