    Default 1990 535 with ASC..but no button!?

    So I have a 1990 535i, it has an ASC light in the center of the dash...but I have no button...so do I actually have it or is it an empty light?

    My guess is empty socket. No sense in making different dash panels for dummy lights. My automatic camaro has a dummy upshift light

    ASC was available only in '93 and up models, I believe, and therefore never on the 535i.
    ASC was replaced with DSC in '01.

    You have an LSD (or should) and a right foot (presumably)... those combines with common sense is better than any ASC/DSC.

    Maybe it was limited to some markets? Kind of like the AWD E34's?

    The most obvious way to find out is put the car in some gravel/dirt and go WOT
