hold down the traction control off button until on the display in the middle of the speedo it says "traction control off". then to do a burnout hold down the brake, gently put on the throttle and balance throttle and brake until burnout is achieved. to "roll out" release brake completely and do full throttle

I appreciate the help, but even holding down the traction control button doesn't fully disengage it. I heard somewhere about a hidden menu in the trip function of our command center. Winthin there is an option for full disengagement.

If it's anything like the C55 and E55, you can put it in dyno mode.

It's too late for me to give you a play by play, so I'll just link you to the thread...

PS: Dyno mode is expensive and dangerous. I love it!

You press the ESP button on the center console until you see ESP OFF on the display. Then, it is fully disengaged....

Does it differ from the E55 to the C63?

In the E55, ESP off doesn't mean it's completely disabled. Can overheat your brakes really quick by doing a burnout like that.

In the E55/C55, dyno mode disables the ABS. I've driven around in dyno mode without any problems. Just have to remember to brake a bit earlier.

Go to an open parking lot, put it in dyno mode, drop it down to first, in sport mode and give it hell. Be sure to bring a flat bed or a spare set of wheels/tires.

In the C63, "ESP OFF" is completely off and completely disabled. There is no need to mess around with Dyno mode for a burn out

I'd echo the keep-away-from-dyno-mode sentiment. ESP off / Sport / Zooooooommmmmmmmmmm

Edit: ESP off / Manual / Zooooooommmmmmmmmmm

C63 is different than E55. You can disable ESP when it is set on OFF. Then do your burn out and get ready to go to the local tire shop because your tires won't last long. It is a lot of fun and you gotta pay to play

here is how you do it.

hold the gas and brake at the same time and make sure you in (M) once you bouncing off the rev limiter upshift to 2nd gear and let go of the brakes and keep switching gears if you want just be care full bc its very very very dangerous

here is what i came up with 1-2-3-4 gear the longest burnout that i have seen on a c63 have fun and be safe

jvan: I was wondering the same thing. I was thinking of letting it rip before I get my new tires but did not know if somehow the tire could blow out... Good question.
Let's see if someone has an answer

When I did the burnout above I had tread showing on the inside of the tire and the tires still lasted for that burnout and I made it to the shop to Install my new tires.
