VDC
I know this has been discussed before but now that lots you have got their cars and have been driving around for a while, what do think is VDC? Is it worth the money?
I still have time to add it to mine if it's money well spent! Cheers |

I think I'd need a whole weekend test drive with VDC to convince me of its worth. Also remember you can add dynamic drive control (if Normal/Sport/Sport+ is the main attraction) much more cheaply by adding VSS

I love it and use it every time I am in the car - I have it set with sports chassis, but in normal drivetrain setting to maximize gas mileage. I then shift to sport+ when I am in the mood to play. I love the difference in steering feel as much as the changes in suspension and drivetrain.

Tyre pressure are another variable in the equation. Having these wrong will likely give unusual results. I don't have VDC but I do have sport suspension. Running at 32psi (as recommended by BMW) works ok but 35F 37R is so much better, the ride doesn't seem firmer, the car seems a whole lot tighter and more controlled. Not really what I expected. I wonder whether tyre pressures should ideally be optimized for the different VDC settings.
