    You panic stopped and then it wigged out? or it was like that upon start?

    Could just be in limp mode. Obviously something has tripped, hopefully just the computer.

    I had that happen to me when I first purchased (1 year) my car. I didn't have a panic stop, but one morning I started my car and the DSC light came on. I took it to the dealer, they kept it for two days, I picked up my car and the DSC started to flicker. I turned around and went back to the dealer. I did this 6 times and then I threatened them with my Lemon Law rights, which I could have done 3 visits earlier and they finally fixed it. Turns out it was a loose connection under the driver's seat. There were 2 pins that were not completely pushed in. I got four new ABS sensors, and a ECU before they figured out the loose wire.....go figure

    This very same thing just happened to my buddy's 325ci. He took her into the dealer, and they replaced some sensor under the hood...problem solved.
