330Ci - No DSC and no warning lights either!
Discussion
Hi,
Bought a 330ci on Saturday - test drove it an it seemed really nice.
Having had chance to drive it a bit more now I have discovered that the traction control is doing nothing. I have searched a lot of threads, but everyone else seems to have the brake / DSC light on.
I have no lights at all - the Handbrake warning light does not come on with the handbrake, and the DSC light does not come on with the ignition in the self test that I have seen on other peoples videos.
ABS works very well as does tyhe rest of the car which makes this problem all the more frustrating!
Any ideas?

If the handbrake light doesn't come on when you apply the handbrake, the DSC light doesn't illuminate when it self tests and you can wheelspin on demand - he has taken the bulbs out.
Does the car "beep" at all when you turn it on - this is the only other thing you can look for, as when your DSC stops working, both lights come on and it goes "Beeeep!"

It beeps twice.
I know at least one of em is the "E gads its freezing!" beep. The car beeps if you apply a notch or two of handbrake on the move as well.
Its deffo not on - pretty sure it should be unable to powerslide without button pressed and flashy lights!
I thought htese were all LED indicators? That would mean someone has gone to a lot of effort to cover this up, would be a clocks stipped and soldering iron effort!
