DTC Speed limit?

I wonder how fast can you do with the DTC mode on? is there a speed limit or should it be use only when you're driving in rough surfaces or mud or snow etc...

I know that when I'm driving through mountain roads it makes the car very very comfortable and easy to drive.

DTC has nothing to do with rough surfaces or making the car more comfortable. I think you meant rather Adaptive Drive?

DTC is traction control and antislip when coming out of a fast corner and preventing the car from skidding when doing sudden directional changes - to put it simply.

DTC is always on,or partially reduced in the X6. Unless u r in a M5, which may be switched off (?)
When u engage the dash button, it switches the threshold of DTC to a lower setting, allowing SOME more wheel slip so ur wheels regain traction on ice/snow/mud. I think it's for situation when all 4 wheels are on ice/snow/mud, all wheels spinning, when u are stuck. It's a mode that allows u to "rock" the car back & forth, with the transmission, when all 4 wheels are in a rut. Similar to what u'd do in a rear wheel drive w/ auto transmission. Or if u want to "drift" the car in a turn.
Read the instruction book or talk to technical guy @ BMW, for more details.
