You have to remember that turning things off completely through Dyno Mode disables ABS,ESP,BAS,etc.., and since the rear end in these cars is an open differential only one wheel will spin.

If you turn off ESP through the dash switch then yes both wheels will spin in a straight line because there is still braking of the spinning wheel by the computer. Around corners one wheel will spin because there is only so much the braking of one wheel can do to over come the open rear-end.

Going into dyno mode each drive would be crazy, sometimes you would forget, and then you would be stomped by a semi.

Maybe if you can train yourself to turn off the dash switch everytime. I even forget that.

I like the LSD idea, ..... someday.

Not my E55. Both wheels spin even when completely disabling ESP/ASR. The right tire seems to spin a little longer when looking at the tracks. Around corners, the inside tire seems to start a little sooner but both tires will go up in smoke.
