I have 6k now but was able to activate in the 2k range. I did not try previously. I actually find it much easier to activate this way and it seems to activate every time.

- Car does need to be up to temperature so don't try it when the car is cold.

1. Press DSC button once ( puts car in "Traction" mode)
2. Pull shifter over into Sport
3. Stomp the brake nice and hard
4. Immediately at the end of 3 push the accelerator very quickly past the kick down switch (i.e. To the floor).
5. Indicates active in the instrument cluster and you're ready to go.

Works every time as long as the car is up to temp. To me this is easier than trying to put in Sport+ as it saves button pushing since I'm not in that mode. The traction mode is also seemingly using Comfort settings on the dampers which helps with traction over the Sport setting ( I have the M adaptive suspension). This also keeps you out of Sport+ and doesn't force you to do the shifting yourself.
