Than the fact that they're filming it makes it look like a set up, just to get the car. Like they were expecting something to happen.
And the fact that the car does worse in the last test, I decide they must have turned something of.

So in conclusion: this is a load of BS.

That's because in the last test tey turned off the DSC so that they could compare with how it handled when activated.

well, than why are we even discussing this.
It's the same as turnig the ESP of on a Mercedes. Djeezes, that's why it's on the car.

When you turn the DSC off on a BMW, its really off right?

On a Mercedes it simply raises the threshold but still intervenes in the end.

But I don't believe the best handling car in its class would fail the test. Somethings very wrong with that particular car or the test was somehow flawed.
