Firstly, I suggest u not burn out with ur C63 at all! U will be wasting ur rubber for something u could do in a Camaro. However, if u must know, the steps below are wat you need in order to perform a basic burnout. Again, I highly recommend you not take part in this childish act and especially not with others in the vehicle or near the vehicle!

1. Find A Clear Area With No Cops or Traffic with plenty of road space
2. Turn ESP OFF
3. Keep Both Hands On The Wheel at 10 & 2 with a gentle to firm grip
4. Make Sure You Are Ready
5. Flooooor IT! (Once you can handle that a few times, Re-do step 5 but this time put ur other foot on the breaks while u floor the gas pedal with the other and then release the breaks.)

While performing a burnout, be aware of your surroundings and of your car.

Warning! Merc-Skycap is just providing his 2 cents here. All damages to u or ur C63 has absolutely NOTHING to do with Merc-Skycap or the person writing as him and is NOT RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY FOR THE ADVICE GIVEN!

Drive Safely!

Just brake at the lights and then apply the loud pedal (without ESP) et voila: instant burn-out. It's more fun than just flooring it and skidding away, you can even move slowly whilst producing disgusting amounts of white smoke

PS: Please youtube it!

Also remember not to do long burnouts, as it will cause flaming hot rubber to stick to your rear bumper.

I agree with the above posts, and I want to stress that if you are using the stock rear tires it is not an exaggeration to say after just a couple of burnouts and some moderately aggressive daily driving you will soon be shopping for new rear tires. I went through my first set in about 3,000 miles to the wear bars. I had only done like 2 or 3 serious burnouts. I suggest doing it once though just to get it out of your system - but it gets old fast.

This kid is an idiot. If you own a C63 and can't do a burnout yet, it is either bs or funny that others actually answered him/her.

I totally agree...some of these posts are getting so rediculous.
Reading shiiit like "How do you do a burn out?" and "I never turn off the ESP" or "I turned off the ESP and crashed" just leaves me stunned and shaking my head. Please tell me these are all jokes.....

Well its when your rear wheels are spinning faster then the car is moving forward. With your car... you may want to help it along by spraying some tire shine all over the back tires.

So Scott Baio and/or Mark Hamill wouldn't qualify then.
