Hai all,
just new to my e46,hey guys what is asc botton function is for?:7:

its actually Automatic Stability Control, if the light flashes, meaning the system is active and in process of regulating your tractive and braking forces. usually in very slippery/uneven road

Automatic stability control as what Mouse had mentioned is the correct and accurate one. If you open the E46 manual acronyms also will transpire the same meaning of force distribution automatic control.

Rakish Sanusi,
Please do not mislead newbies who want to learn new thing

It should be deactivated with no light on, for normal drive.
For other explanation, if the button been turn on your car unable to drift

If I'm not mistaken, ASC is turned on automatically, even if there's no light, it still means that it's on. If it flashes, then you're driving on a corner at high speed and the system is controlling your car from skidding / drifting. Do correct me if I'm wrong though.

Cheerio...

To be precise,
light on permanently - deactive
no light - active
light flashes on-off - ASC is working at the present time

Just sharing..

The ASC has a control module right in front of the Brake Servo. If this thing breaks... it will cost >rm4k and it has to be programmed after installation. So don't toy with your ASC unnecessarily. It is a known but not that common part change for E46 and E39. That is why it is listed in the "tell tale lignt" topic in your car manual.

Someone told me but he can't prove this technically, if you add accessories that increases the car's electrical demand, it may potentially damage control units and ASC is one of them. I had aftermarket HIDs & Angel Eyes, 2 Amps and 2 woofers... end of last year... my alternator and followed by my ASC broke... total cost ~RM8k. So now.. all of these aftermarket has been removed... only 1 amp and a small woofer.
