DSC III MK20: Introduction

The DSC III system was introduced for the E46, beginning with Model Year 2000 production (E46/2: 6/99, E46/4: 9/99). The system is similar to the DSC III 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 the following:

• ABS braking control
• ASC +T traction control
• DSC - Dynamic Stability Control for oversteer and understeer conditions
