What is Soft Stop?

[ksher]

Soft Stop is part of Dynamic Stability Control (DSC+). But what is it? Do all facelfit Z4 (from 2006) have DSC+?

"Soft Stop contributes to a smoother journey for driver and passenger — a small proportion of braking pressure is released as the car comes to a standstill, thereby minimising the likelihood for a sharp, halting stop. It works, but it's so subtle you'd never know. "

Automatically does what the Advanced Drivers Manual (UK) tells you to do.....

I could see that system doing more harm than good.

For normal (ie non emergency) stops its worth a try; just as you come to a complete stop just slightly release the pressure on the brake pedal - makes for a gentle and controlled stop.

Interesting, didnt realise they had this either.

So they add this to make the stopping nice and smooth - which is easy to do without - but then put in the CDV to make you have the most awkward gear changes :roll:
