Does anyone have the issue of the DSC kicking in under kickdown? For example: you're driving approx 35-40 mph and you give 100% throttle (Max. Kickdown mode) and it downshifts to 2nd gear, and as soon as full power is applied, a quick intervention happens and power is reduced for a second (DSC flashes) there is clearly no slipping. Same happens in 1st gear. Activating DTC alleviates this issue, but I've never had a BMW do this before. Obviously, installing the JB4 brought out this issue even more, so I just need to always drive in DTC mode. Just wondering if this is a design flaw or just a bad sensor perhaps. Anyone??
