How necessary is the DSC on a Mini,(or any other front wheel drive car for that matter)? I currently own a 2000 BMW 323i and it comes standard w/ DSC. All this electronic device seems to do is stop the rear wheels from spinning in slippery or skidding conditions. This comes in hand during the rain and snow, but it takes the fun out of driving hard in good conditions. Many a times I shut it off to have some driving fun! And to me this seems to be the point of having the MINI... Driving Fun! And on top of it, front wheel drive is much better in the rain / snow than rear wheel drive. I believe DSC is geared toward the "typical" non-enthusiast U.S. BMW owner(in this case). Any opinions from some of you who have the car with / without the DSC option or from anyone else?
