2001 525i is drawing power
So, just like the title says, if I do not drive the car for a couple days, the battery is down. Had it check out and the dsc is drawing power. So, is there anyway that I can disconnect the system or pull the fuse?

No help?
Have you looked at the card in the fuse box to check for DSC fuse?
How do you know it is DSC? Did they measure current through a particular fuse?
Some good how to's on here for battery drain tracking.

Go to the VERY best of E39 Links and type /battery F3 and you'll find these, among others:

In addition it will locate this, which has a section on isolating parasitic draw:

replace FSR (final stage resistor). ~$70 bucks and a 15 min job (most of which you'll spend in an awkward upside-down position). access is from the passengers side foot well.
thank me later.

I was told by a BMW service center that the DSC was the problem. Even the DSC caution light is on the dash
