Posts: 44 |  Traction and Stability Control
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  |  |  | | 02-11-2007, 11:37 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Ireland Posts: 382 |
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.... __________________ .............................

if the traction control is on....
it cuts power and stops a wheel spin and stops sliding out....

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