Traction and Stability Control

[TheFlyingScotsman]

Hey there. I have a 318Ti and im lost! lol

In the Advert for the car, it sayed it has Traction Control, but my car doesnt have the button to switch it on/off.
Anyone here tell me what models have TCS?
Does this mean i have it or not?
Thanks, Michael

i think it has to have a button to swith off or on....


btw if you wheel spin off does the car sut off power causing the spin to stop......... or if you send it sideways does it go or does it stop....

Still getting used to the car, but the wheelspin, No it keeps spinning, deffo dont have the button, the back-end keeps twitching tho!
Guess i dont have it then...

[318iS]

nope....

if the traction control is on....

it cuts power and stops a wheel spin and stops sliding out....


did you buy it private or from a dealer ? ? ?

From a Dealer mate, im gonna go round and talk to them.
Im not bothered, as long as it is OFF! lol

Which year? 1996+ I think had ASC+T, or was it 1997... I forget. Either way, it's pretty friggin awesome.

I wonder if a Limited slip diff could qualify as "traction control"?
