Can someone decipher/explain to me the "dyno-mode" screen

So I FINALLY got into dyno mode yesterday (before my window got shot). I took a pic of the screen b/c I couldn't see to decipher some of the things.

The Ver is pretty self explanatory (version). I guess the Kl-Nr is the model code for my care. But what does everything else mean?

Thanks.

The screen you are looking at is providing basic information on the computer software version and other details. Most people on this forum use dyno mode to completely switch off the ABS, ESP and BAS. It really is a fun ride with no ESP. And yes, you can really smoke the tires when you lock up the brakes.

For real world use, the car is faster through the cones when it is not in dyno mode and you've switched ESP off. Remember, switching off ESP only makes it less sensitive. It doesn't really turn it off. Kind of like a sport mode
