    Feel any vibrations or hums at speed? Like wheel isn't on straight.

    You're dsc light stays on? Never had mine more than flicker.

    Maybe dsc pressure sensor(s) are bad, check codes.

      This happens to both my M3’s if I drive in the rain, I think the water does something. I’ve also had these lights come on with ABS and amber brake light. My mechanic says ABS sensors or the DSC sensors. Never bothered me enough to dig deeper.

        Wheel speed sensor will do that.
        Read the codes.

          I had both of those on at the same time and it was the yaw rate sensor, but read the codes and you'll know for sure.

            Like the title says, pulled the wheels off the M and brought them to my local shop to have the tires replaced. Before putting them back on, I gave the wheel wells and BBK a good wipedown with diluted simple green. Threw a quick coat of wax on the wheels and BBK (hey why not; I'm already there) then put the wheels back on. Took

              Mine is red. But I have normal tire pressure and car runs great. Has been like that since I bought the car. Don’t know if it’s a coding issue or what. Haven’t addressed it yet. If someone knows what’s causing that, I’m all ears.

                My guess is a bad wheel speed sensor. Traction control and TPMS can't work without it. We don't have TPMS sensors. The pressure is measured by diameter while spinning.

                  Really need to read the codes to know for sure. My guess is pressure sensor, replaced them and issue solved.

                    First - re-learn pressures by the book (don't just "push the button").

                    If that doesn't clear it, check codes. Next probability is a wheel speed sensor.

                      Thanks everyone for the replies. Weird enough the problem has not occurred since. I will be checking code when I can.
