DSC OFF locks up the diff a bit doesn't it? So you can hoon. And diff lock when you're stuck in the snow sounds like good news to me!

I also recall James May saying something to the tune of "The Stig has turned off the car's stability control all together (DSC OFF), which locks up the rear differential for extra *hooligan*?". It was at this point he was hurled across the rear seats of the 760Li the Stig was drifting.
