In Reply to: Hey Teves! Brake question 4 ya! posted by DBC 4 E46 next year?-more on March 12, 2000 at 21:58:16:

: Teves--

: I saw your comments below re: the brake system and figured you might know about Dynamic Brake Control. It's on the 5 and 7 series already, but it's conspicuous by its absence on the E46. Any thoughts on when it'll show up?

: Summer production (Post June) or September?

: Thanks.

: p.s. Is it the vacuume assist that's boosted to boost the brake pressure, or is direct acting on the hydraulics? Also, is it mechanical or electronic--can't remember which one DCX is using, but I think BMW used the opposite system (must be on principle?)

Basically, it only works under very severe emergency braking and it works by "taking over" control from the driver. I don't like it. It's for all intensive purposes the same systme that's on the M-B ML class, however the BMW version is Bosch, not my Ate system.
